Despite capturing the Big Ten Championship in spectacular fashion Saturday night, James Franklin's Nittany Lions didn't make the College Football Playoff. They will, however, be heading to Pasadena to play No. 9 USC.
The Nittany Lions came in at No. 5 in this week's AP Top 25 poll.
These players and this coaching staff never gave up on this game despite the deficit, much like they never gave up on the program despite the adversity.
Penn State deserves a spot in the College Football Playoff over Ohio State. The Nittany Lions have proved their worth.
The rally after the Big Ten Championship was far more violent than the last time students gathered in Beaver Canyon.
"Nobody believed in us but us," senior receiver Gregg Garrity said. "We've been talking about Penn State being back, and Penn State's here to stay."
