ChBass 16 Losing to Wisconsin didn't hurt that badly, having a just-better-than-mid-tier offense will.

jtchr33 20 Penn State finally gets to experience the Matt Campbell experience, it's like the James Franklin experience, but the losses are way worse. Wisconsin is also better than we give them credit for (maybe Abu gave Wisconsin enough to have an edge, no idea but possible)
