After watching Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg lead the Nittany Lions to an impressive 31-24 victory over the No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers, the Big Ten Conference honored him with his fifth Big Ten Freshman of the Week award. He is the first player since 2010, when Nathan Scheelhaase of Illinois won six times, to win the award five times in a season.
There were many plays throughout the year that stood out and, in some cases, will be remembered for years to come. From long touchdowns to game-changing turnovers, we've put together our list of plays that defined Penn State's season. Here's Onward State's Top Ten Plays of the 2013 football season.
I walked into Camp Randall hoping for Penn State to at least hang for awhile and not get laughed out of town. What happened, though, was entirely different, and I couldn't be happier to be wrong.
The 2013 football season just ended, but it's never too early to start thinking about next year. Penn State fans hoping to root on the Nittany Lions in Dublin, Ireland at the 2014 Croke Park Classic on August 30 will have the opportunity to buy single game tickets starting next Friday.
"They said that we were 24-point underdogs...what are they gonna say now?"
The Nittany Lions ended the season on a high note once again, topping the No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers on the road 31-24. The win clinched another winning season at 7-5 for Bill O'Brien in his second year as Penn State's head coach. Nobody -- including our staff here at Onward State -- expected or predicted an upset victory for the Nittany Lions in Madison on Saturday. After taking some time to digest what went down yesterday afternoon, we handed out some grades to the team for the last time this year.
