Charlottesville, Virginia, home of the University of Virginia Cavaliers, is an easy four and a half hour drive from State College. Despite the loss, the atmosphere was enjoyable and hospitable -- which could prove to be a rarity for traveling Penn State fans in the near future. Here's what I took away from my trip to beautiful Scott Stadium.
During the darkest time in school history, with every move we make scrutinized by the national media you'd think Penn State fans would show a little class when a player under performs on the field. Wrong. Some irrational fans felt the need to belittle kicker Sam Ficken, following his tough game against Virginia.
There are a lot of dumb people in the world, and a lot of these dumb people have Twitter accounts. Penn State kicker Sam Ficken struggled mightily on Saturday, missing four field goals. Some people took to Twitter to act like idiots and voice their displeasure with Ficken's performance. We compiled some of these gems.
Sam Ficken's four missed field goals along with a blocked extra point overshadowed four turnovers forced by the defense as the Penn State Nittany Lions (0-2) fell to the Virginia Cavaliers (2-0) 17-16 at Scott Stadium.
Good morning from Scott Stadium where the Penn State Nittany Lions (0-1) are set to take on the Virginia Cavaliers (1-0) from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Cavaliers are led by Mike London who is in his third season with the program. London has a 13-13 record with the Cavaliers while Bill O'Brien is still searching for his first win as a head coach after dropping his debut to Ohio last week. Below is all of the media information and coverage for today.
After last week's debut of 50 Stats for Saturday, it's time for Round 2. Hopefully you find some interesting tidbits that you otherwise wouldn't have known.
