Penn State had a great 1st half, ending with a lead of 14-3. Coach O'brien's new offensive strategy was not only effective, but way more exciting than PSU's old style of play, since there was more passing, faster ball movement, and (for the first half) more touchdowns. Second half was frustrating, mainly because it was primarily lost through 2 unlucky mistakes. The first was an dropped punt return which was recovered by Ohio near the end zone, leading to an easy touchdown. Another fluke occurred with a failed interception which got deflected into an Ohio players hands, which he then ran into the end zone. I'm not the type to make excuses and win is a win and a loss is a loss, but Penn State showed promise against significant odds and it was really fascinating to watch the beginning of a new era at Penn State. As long as they can keep composure in the second half (which teams naturally get better at over time) I think they can be competitive down the road.
