The 2014 John Mackey Award's midseason watch list was released Monday, with Penn State's very own Jesse James making an appearance.
Well that happened. For the first time since 2007 -- the first time any current Penn State student has ever known -- Penn State lost to Michigan. It sucked. I was there, which sucked even more. Nonetheless, the Big House is a college football institution, and after taking an extra day to mourn, here are my observations.
Despite riding an ugly two game losing streak, the Penn State Nittany Lions are still bowl eligible, and only need to win two more games in order to ensure that they will be playing this postseason. If the past two games have been any indication, Penn State, which sits at 4-2, will most likely be out of the inaugural four team playoff race, barring any freak occurrences. With that said, there are a number of notable bowl games that the team could wind up playing in come December.
Penn State has decided to "move on" from CB Myles Hartsfield amid hazing accusations.
The Nittany Lions took an ugly loss at the hands of Michigan this past Saturday, but they sure looked good during the game! The team unveiled some sweet looking new Nike gloves that featured all white on the back, with the Nittany Lion logo visible on the front with two hands placed together.
Penn State broke out brand new Nittany Lion gloves for its game against Michigan. At least it looked good in the loss!
Saturday's performance was an embarrassing display of offensive ineptitude, mind-numbing play call decisions, and laughable time management. Not only did James Franklin shoot the team in the foot repeatedly, but he stood by the questionable decisions made after the game. Heading into yet another bye week, the Nittany Lions have numerous issues to address, hoping to right this ship before it becomes too late.
