The Penn State offense dared to be great and fell just short

The common refrain from Penn State football fans over the last two seasons has been that the offense has come up small in the team's biggest games. The defense, a bulwark against blowouts, has dragged the team, kicking and screaming, into close but ultimately futile games against the best teams on the schedule. Well, the team heard you, and on Saturday, they came out swinging in the Big Ten Championship Game. With the College Football Playoff committee selection happening this afternoon, there isn't time for a full film breakdown of the game between Penn State and Oregon. However, the tone and the game plan from the Nittany Lion's offense were clear. We'll discuss what the team did to score 37 points but, ultimately, fell short once again.
