A change of scenery might've been what Penn State needed, but it wasn't enough to pull the Nittany Lions out of its recent slump. Penn State dropped to 1-3-1 on the year after falling 5-2 to Vermont at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia yesterday.
Yes, you read that correctly. Call me cynical, but I think fall is overhyped.
We've been writing these Overheard posts for a little more than a year now, and experienced things and places like the White Loop, the morning after, and The End Zone, to name a few. But then we realized something. We've never actually written an Overheard post from inside of a bar, the source of much of the debauchery we have come to chronicle.
In Urban Meyer’s 20th game as the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, he kept his undefeated record alive and wel. The most impressive part might be how strong the victory was, though, as the Buckeyes absolutely dominated the Nittany Lions in all facets and all phases of the game, winning 63-14.
The losing streak may have ended, but it definitely wasn't the result that Penn State wanted. The Nittany Lions failed to hold on to a 3-2 lead in the third period and tied the RIT Tigers (0-3-2) 3-3 after both teams went scoreless in the five minute overtime period. Penn State now stands at 1-2-1 on the year.
Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is enjoying the early portion of the day leading up to tonight's highly anticipated showdown at Ohio Stadium, where the Penn State Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-1 B1G) will face off against the undefeated, #4 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0 B1G) in a nationally televised, primetime game.
