Penn State sports went a combined 7-3 this weekend, making their overall record 14-5-2.
Penn State fans, rejoice -- the higher-ups at ESPN saw last Saturday's game and decided that the Nittany Lions' next game is one that should be broadcast nationally.
I was fortunate (?) enough to get to go to Lincoln Financial Field and see the Owls' dismantling live. It was as bad as you think -- here are some things that stood out.
As fans, we tend to forget that the NFL is a business. When there are handful of talented players all vying for the same spot, roster cuts become a numbers game, and Devon Still fell victim to this cruel side of the business on Saturday as the Cincinnati Bengals whittled its roster down to 53 before the 4:00 p.m. deadline.
The utter catastrophe that was Penn State football's deflating season-opening loss against Temple probably dampened the spirits of Nittany Lion supporters everywhere. Luckily, football wasn't the only sport being played on Saturday. The No. 1 ranked Penn State women's volleyball team took on No. 2 Stanford in a heavyweight clash in front of a packed house at Rec Hall. The Nittany Lions lived up to the ranking, erasing the Cardinal in straight sets in what turned out to be the team's best collective performance of the 2015 season thus far.
