Allen Robinson was just a three-star recruit coming out of St. Mary Preparatory School in Orchard Lake, Mich in 2010. He received interest from six schools: Toledo, Minnesota, Michigan State, Buffalo, Bowling Green, and Penn State. Three years later, just about every college football team in the nation would love to have Robinson on their roster as he’s become one of the best receivers in the nation.
Bill O’Brien’s weekly Tuesday press conferences are typically an opportunity to discuss the team, last week’s game, and the coming Saturday matchup. But that wasn’t that case this afternoon as O’Brien essentially refused to discuss the Nittany Lions’ 44-24 loss against Indiana in Bloomington this past weekend, instead opting to discuss the coming matchup against Michigan.
It's certainly tough to stay positive after a 42-24 loss on Saturday to the Indiana Hoosiers, a team that Penn State had a 16-0 record against entering Saturday, but this isn't the first time that the Nittany Lions have faced this type of adversity.
Good afternoon from Bloomington, Indiana where the Penn State Nittany Lions (3-1) are set to face the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2) in the Big Ten conference opener. Penn State enters the game coming off of a bye week that followed a 34-0 shutout victory against Kent State. Indiana won its opener against 73-35 before losing a close game to Navy 41-35. The Hoosiers beat Bowling Green 42-10 in Week 3 and lost to Missouri 45-28 two weeks ago before having a bye. Indiana led by head coach Kevin Wilson who is 7-21 in his third season at the helm. Bill O’Brien is facing Indiana for the second time as Penn State’s head coach and will look to add on to the Nittany Lions’ perfect record (16-0) against the Hoosiers.
Get ready for another football Saturday as the Nittany Lions (3-1) are set to take on the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2) in the Big Ten conference schedule opener in Bloomington. Penn State, coming off a big shutout win over Kent State and a bye week, will try and start off the conference slate with a win. Kickoff is at 12:00 p.m. Let’s take a look at what our writers think about the game.
The Nittany Lions (3-1) open the Big Ten conference slate tomorrow against the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2) on the road. The Hoosiers aren't the toughest challenge that Penn State will face over the course of the season, but the team has a very prolific offense featuring one of the Big Ten's best passing attacks. In a series that dates back to 1993, Penn State will head into Bloomington undefeated against Indiana, topping the Hoosiers in each of their 16 prior meetings.
