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.
Sometimes they say that you should save the best for last. Against the No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday afternoon in Madison, the Penn State Nittany Lions did just that, pulling off a 31-24 upset win in the final game of the season to finish 7-5. For what seems like the first time all year, the team put together a complete game, succeeding on both offense and defense against one of the best teams in the conference and the nation to end the 2013 season on a high note with a shocking upset.
