The 2016 regular season had its conclusion Saturday night with Penn State at the top of the Big Ten mountain

What an unbelievable ride the 2016 season has been for these Nittany Lions and their fan base. James Franklin did not want to discuss the 2-2 start last night, but it’s always worth mentioning because it makes the 9 straight victories that followed even sweeter.

Nobody thought Penn State would stand at the end of the conference season as champions, but all they needed was to believe in themselves to prove the doubters wrong. How Penn State won Saturday night, with another second half comeback, was a fitting way to end it.

While there is now some disappointment among fans for just missing the cut to the College Football Playoff, a Big Ten championship, and a trip to Pasadena to play in The Granddaddy of Them All is a great reward for the team’s hard work this season.

There will be a lot more to talk about over the coming weeks with this team, but let’s take another look at the wildly entertaining Big Ten Championship game against Wisconsin and grade out the positional groups.
