Penn State football is officially on a winning streak.
The Nittany Lions picked up their second Big Ten win of the season Saturday afternoon, taking down Washington 28-25 at Huskey Stadium. Despite the scary losing skid, Penn State is now one game away from bowl eligibility and squarely in the middle of the Big Ten pack.
Plenty of positive fanbase energy was directed at Taylor Mouser’s offensive unit at the beginning of the game, as Penn State leaped out to a 28-6 halftime lead.
Despite the explosive start to the game, Mouser & Co. did not have a banner second half. In fact, the Nittany Lions were completely shut out in the final two quarters, allowing Washington to mount an anxiety-inducing comeback.
Despite the Huskies’ comeback effort, Penn State still walked out of Seattle with a good taste in its mouth. It picked up a cross-country road win as an underdog, perhaps the most impressive feather in Campbell’s cap yet.
To make things a bit sweeter for Penn State fans, a few foes of the program suffered bad losses over the weekend. James Franklin and his Hokies were trounced by SMU on Friday night, and Ohio State lost its second game in a row.
