After narrowly beating a Big Ten bottom-feeder in Indiana last week, Penn State came out Saturday afternoon looking to make a statement. Based on the dominant performance from the Nittany Lions, a statement was indeed made.
College Park looked almost like a smaller Beaver Stadium as tons of Nittany Lions fans made the trek. The fans that made the journey saw a rejuvenated Penn State team that seemed to have pushed the Ohio State game completely behind them after perhaps it affected last week’s narrow win against the Hoosiers.
The well-rounded performance by Penn State was on full display. Only at one point was the game ever in question, and now the Nittany Lions can look toward perhaps their biggest test next weekend when Michigan comes to Happy Valley for Big Noon Kickoff.
Below are five takeaways from Penn State’s 51-15 blowout win over Maryland.
