Roar Lions Roar: A Penn State Football Podcast
Recapping Minnesota & Appreciating a Bounce Back Performance
Season 7, Ep. 33
•
The Whiteout may not offer a cure for the common cold, but it was able to cure an ailing Penn State offense.
Nick and Bill are back to break down what was an emphatic win for the Nittany Lions over Minnesota in a packed Beaver Stadium on Saturday night. The crowd that was in attendance not only witnessed Penn State getting back into the win column but saw James Franklin's team post the most points ever by the good guys in the Whiteout with the 45-17 victory.
The guys talk through the win, what worked so well that allowed the offense and defense to flourish as they did, and how much we should actually be taking away from the blowout win over PJ Fleck's crippled Gophers. The guys also appreciate Sean Clifford for his outstanding performance, the offensive line for getting back on track, Curtis Jacobs for one of his best games played in the blue and white, and a whole lot more.
