Game Day Observations is a recurring series from Onward State now in its fourth season taking you in the stands and analyzing the minutiae of every Penn State football game, home and away.

What a wild first weekend for Penn State sports. Out of the nine games played this weekend across the various sports, the Nittany Lions were victorious in each. Not a bad start to the school year, we'd say. Here's what went down this weekend:

As Saturday's Croke Park Classic was essentially a bowl game for the Nittany Lions and Central Florida, it was only fitting that the pre-game ceremony lived up to the season opener's high-profile caliber. And so that brings us a first-person GoPro video of a Penn State skydiver's descent onto the field.

Penn State's victory in Dublin was much more than just another win. It was the dawning of a new era, and a statement to the nation that the Nittany Lions are still relevant.
