Where do they go from here?

Penn State started this season off with a heartbreaking loss at Indiana, giving up a controversial two point conversion to lose by one in overtime. The Buckeyes came to town in Week 2 and picked the meat off the bones of a wounded Nittany Lions squad in a prime time battle, and it has seemingly snowballed from there.

It begs the question, is Penn State really this bad?

It seems unfortunately for Franklin and company, they are.

Bill Parcells always said, you are what you’re record says you are, and there is no running from 0-5. Penn State will have to attempt to pick up the pieces in a hurry as they travel to Ann Arbor next week and take on a struggling Michigan squad. Penn State should continue to prioritize the youth movement on both sides of the ball, and find out who really wants to be a part of the team moving forward.
