With a little over ten minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Penn State had the ball on the Northwestern five yard line, trailing 28-17. The Nittany Lions faced 4th and goal, and O'Brien faced one of the toughest decisions of his young head-coaching career.

Good morning from Beaver Stadium. It is homecoming in Happy Valley where the Penn State Nittany Lions (3-2, 1-0 Big Ten) are set to host the No. 24 Northwestern Wildcats (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten). The Wildcats are led by Pat Fitzgerald who is in his seventh year as head coach of the program but still searching for his first victory over the Nittany Lions. Bill O'Brien will be looking to build upon his current three game winning streak in his first season coaching the blue and white.
