It was only a month ago that Penn State football fans were trying to understand how a quarterback-less team was having such a surprisingly successful season and few envisioned a Big Ten title and New Year's Day bowl game. Now in light of recent events, should Penn State consider declining a bowl invitation?
Saturday afternoon, Penn State Won its first game without Joe Paterno as its official head coach since 1965. Much of the world and many elements of Penn State were much different forty six years ago. Here's a look at what life was like back then.
While the eyes of most Penn State sports fans were mainly fixated on Saturday's clash between the Nittany Lions and the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, several other sports teams played pivotal matchups with mixed levels of success. Here's a recap of all the action below:
It's shocking and discouraging--if not completely unsurprising, given how this month has gone--to see a major newspaper give a forum to a disgruntled former employee for the voicing of grievances. Vicky Triponey, the former (and disgraced) Vice President for Student Affairs at Penn State, clearly went to the newspaper, selling a story, and in another sad chapter of this affair, The Wall Street Journal bought it.
The theme among fans appeared to be respect during Penn State's victory at Ohio State on Saturday. Read a firsthand account of the atmosphere and how one group of Penn State fans was received in Columbus.
Wide receiver Curtis Drake headed on to the field like any other play. This was not any other play, however. Drake lined up at quarterback and handed the ball off to Stephfon Green, who ran for a touchdown.
That play was just one of many in a new-look Penn State wildcat formation. Drake and Bill Belton split time at quarterback when the Nittany Lions ran the wildcat. The new formation helped Penn State to a 20-14 victory in Columbus, Ohio, over Ohio State.
