Lions' versatile offense lights up Delaware, puts opposing defenses on alert

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Let's keep in mind, this was really like a practice scrimmage.

As such, everything we saw Saturday between a legitimate College Football Playoff contender in Penn State versus a vastly overmatched FCS opponent in Delaware has to be kept in context. That whole "take it with a grain of salt" thing.

Go back to the oversimplified game keys we published a couple of days ago, which were:

1. Show up, on time, wearing helmet and pads

2. Play football

3. Don't get hurt

After the fact, those keys really weren't oversimplified at all.
