Christian Hackenberg is doing well in what Bill O'Brien refers to as his "sixth class," but not well enough to get a perfect grade just yet. We have a recap of what O'Brien had to say in his weekly press conference.
This one still stings -- it hurts to even write this post -- but let's get right into Penn State's primetime matchup against the University of Central Florida Knights.
A disappointing defensive performance was the downfall for the Nittany Lions on Saturday evening at Beaver Stadium as they lost to Central Florida 34-31 in a heartbreaker. The offense produced all game long, but the defense struggled against a strong UCF offense led by quarterback Blake Bortles and running back Storm Johnson. Instead of staying undefeated, Penn State lost a winnable game to go to 2-1.
In a heartbreaker under the lights at Beaver Stadium, the Penn State Nittany Lions fell just short against the Central Florida Knights on Saturday, losing by a score of 34-31. The Knights had the upper hand throughout the entire game as Penn State never led, looking unstoppable at times on offense against what looked to be a strong Penn State defense in the first two weeks.
Good morning from Beaver Stadium where the Penn State Nittany Lions (2-0) are set to face the Central Florida Knights (2-0) in the first night game of the season. Penn State enters the game undefeated after edging Syracuse in the opener at MetLife Stadium and dominating Eastern Michigan in the home opener last Saturday. UCF has defeated Akron and FIU convincingly coming into Week 3 against Penn State. UCF is led by head coach George O'Leary, a former mentor of Bill O'Brien from their time together at Georgia Tech. Bill O'Brien will face Central Florida for the first time as a head coach and will look to add on to the Nittany Lions' perfect record (2-0) against the Knights from the Paterno era.
