Comments: The key to the game was the Penn State physically dominated our dysfunctional offense. Our defense played pretty well, save for a couple of long pass plays given up. We came close to breaking even in the kicking game but there were two ugly plays:  the muffed snap on a punt that started the muff-interception-fumble sequence that ended in a Penn State field goal and Krautman missing a makeable 43 yarder. The strategy at the end of the game might have been different if the score was 20-23. But in the end it was our offensive failures that determined the outcome.  Getting beat on 22 of 27 first down plays, including 3 out of 18 rushing plays meant we just never got off the ground. Our best first down play was a long pass and Penn State had three of them, two for scores.
