Penn State has just one win against a top-five team in the 21st century. Can Saturday finally be the time to notch another vs. Michigan?
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — As the sun set Wednesday with on the practice field, all the tell-tale signs of Saturday’s importance came into focus. Fox’s “Big Noon Saturday” stage was already being erected across the street from Beaver Stadium. In front of the stadium’s student section entrance, the November chill was met by several Nittanyville campers whose tents were already in place. They’re doing so to ensure they can secure the best seats possible for the showdown between No. 3 and No.
Advertisement Last I checked, no team hangs banners for keeping games close or for consistently covering the spread. Yes, Penn State has put up respectable showings in many of the star-studded showdowns, but it has also yet to break through and reach an elite level on a consistent basis. That’s not to say Penn State hasn’t achieved a lot of success during Franklin’s tenure. It has four seasons with at least 10 wins and appearances in four New Year’s Six bowl games.
