There's a Whitehouse planned for the October 27th game vs. Ohio State, but there weren't any plans for a Whiteout (students only) this season. That was until a few Troy Weller tweet and Facebook event spawned a Whiteout Declaration.
I can't remember the last time I witnessed Penn State put a whooping on another Big Ten school on the road. That's exactly what happened in Champaign, Illinois on Saturday, and it couldn't have felt better to walk around town wearing Penn State gear after the 35-7 bloodbath.
Penn State senior linebacker Michael Mauti has been recognized with some awards following his dominant performance against Illinois on Saturday that featured two interceptions and a forced fumble.
There was little doubt in anyone's mind that Michael Mauti was going to have a great game today.
Anyone who did not believe it would realize their mistake less than ninety seconds into the contest, as the senior linebacker forced Tommy Davis to fumble a punt. Three minutes later, the Nittany Lions took advantage of the turnover as Zack Zwinak scored on a one yard touchdown. The Penn State Nittany Lions were off to a 7-0 lead and never looked back defeating the Illinois Fighting Illini 35-7.
Good morning from Memorial Stadium in Champaign Illinois where Big Ten play is set to begin with the Penn State Nittany Lions (2-2) set to take on the Illini Fighting Illinii (2-2). Both head coaches are in their first season with the program as Bill O'Brien and Tim Beckman seek a good start to the conference schedule.
The Penn State Nittany Lions (2-2) and the Illinois Fighting Illini (2-2) head into tomorrow's game at Memorial Stadium with identical records. Aside from that, the two teams do not have much in common. The Nittany Lions enter Big Ten play with some momentum after two consecutive victories whereas the Illini are trying to recover from a shocking twenty eight point home loss to Louisiana Tech last Saturday.
