Recapping Penn State Football’s loss vs Michigan … and our prediction
In our last column, we said Michigan would win if they got 3+ sacks on Sean Clifford.
Woof, they met this one and then some.
Michigan had seven sacks. Poor Sean Clifford’s ribs.
We said Penn State football would win if Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara threw for 33+ passes He finished a respectable 19-29, 217 yards and an impressive 3 touchdowns, and more importantly, zero interceptions.
This one wasn’t even close.
Michigan did what they needed to do to win (by a ton) and Penn State fell short of what they needed to.
Sounds an awful lot like what happened. Victory Bell Rings takes the unfortunate victory, moving to 7-2 on the year.
