After this weekend's shaky win over Villanova, the Nittany Lions still have room to prove they're deserving to be the highest-ranked Big Ten team in the country.

Saturday's game was a noon kickoff against a relatively tame opponent, but that's not to say it wasn't an entertaining affair.

The Nittany Lions climb to the top four after this weekend's 38-17 win over Villanova.

"This year is way different. We're much closer, and it's just we're friends. We're excited to see each other make plays."

The Nittany Lions went out and proved they were the better team Saturday.

"I think they're getting patted on the back. I think they're reading articles, and we'll make sure that there's no leftovers of that come Sunday. I'll make sure that we clear all those things out of the fridge."
