The No. 6 Nittany Lions (5-0, 3-0 Big Ten) have rolled to 10 straight wins, all by at least two touchdowns, dating to last season and feel like another big weekend is in store when struggling UMass (1-5) visits Beaver Stadium on Saturday. It’s Penn State’s final non-conference opponent before visiting No. 3 Ohio State on Oct. 21.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State coach James Franklin had his players do some self-scouting during their bye last week. The Nittany Lions liked what they saw.“I think we’re in a good place,” Franklin said.
The Nittany Lions haven’t done so since they lost to the Buckeyes on Oct. 29 last fall. Since the start of this season, Penn State’s offense has steadily grown with sophomore Drew Allar under center while the defense has been one of the nation’s stingiest. “It’s kind of hard sometimes when you’re going on these long drives with not a ton of explosive plays,” tight end Tyler Warren said. “But at the end of the day, 12 plays for six points is the same as two plays for six points.”Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz took time last week to appreciate the efforts of his No. 2-ranked scoring defense that’s allowing a national-low 11.6 first downs per game.
