It’s been a week since Penn State football beat Utah in the 109th Rose Bowl, giving the Nittany Lions the second Rose Bowl victory in program history. With the transfer portal running hot, we’re taking today to put a close to the season and focus on the defensive effort from the victory. It was an up-and-down performance by the Nittany Lions with several outstanding efforts, but others that led to points, yards, and frankly, weren’t up to the standard that Penn State set to end the season. We’ll go over that and what made Penn State win in the second half of the game in T-Frank’s Film Room.
