Penn State shook off getting blown out by Michigan with their own blowout win over Minnesota. Granted the Gophers are very short handed but it was an impressive win that had Penn State returning to their roots of strong defense and ground game. However, Sean Clifford exploded for maybe his best game in a Penn State uniform. Things get back to being difficult for Penn State however when they host Ohio State this weekend.

Surprised by how soundly they beat Minnesota. Thought it would be a much closer game. Minnesota didn’t look they belonged on the same field during a few series.

Penn State is 6-1 with a loss to Michigan. Best wins are probably Purdue (5-3) and Minnesota (4-3).

14.7, -1.1, -3, 17.2 (16th), 12.2 (20th). Despite a comfortable win over Minnesota, Penn State took a strength of schedule hit from Purdue’s loss to Wisconsin, which was enough to drop them a few spots in this crowded section of the rankings

(+3) Dominant win over Minnesota has me bringing up Penn State 3 spots from last week (also due to teams in front of them losing).

Using the white-out on a backup was unfulfilling.

0.0877845 Turned the boat over

Last Week #16 vs Minnesota. Had another slow start (8 plays for 14 yards and 1 INT on first three drives) that the Nittany Lions were lucky Minnesota couldn't turn into more than 3 pts. Dominated the 2nd & 3rd quarter, then cruised in the 4th. Currently have Penn State as my worst 1-loss P5 school, and don't really see that changing any time soon. This Week vs #2 Ohio State.
