For the second consecutive year, Penn State opened its season with a three-game stretch that included two Power Five opponents. For the second consecutive year, the Nittany Lions came out of that stretch 3-0.
Although there is still a lot to learn about these Nittany Lions, let’s look back at the last three games and see what we learned so far.
THE FUTURE IS RIGHT NOW
The youth movement going on in Happy Valley is far-and-away the biggest takeaway from the first three games. Prior to the season, I predicted that Penn State would finish 8-4, with one of the major reasons why being that I thought this team was going to be a year away.
