An Emotional Experience

This Saturday Penn State fell to Ohio 24-14, the Nittany Lions played fast. Lord knows, they played hard. But they didn't follow the rest of O'Brien's script. It was not that they made mistakes, although they did. . It was that Penn State had this game in their grasp and let it get away. In the end, Penn State couldn't match Ohio's experience. The longer the game went on, the shorter yardage that Ohio had on third down. Ohio moved the chains, converting 11 of 12 third downs in the second half. Ohio strung plays together, keeping the ball for 18:08 of the second half. Even as the clock counted down on the Nittany Lions the loyal Penn State crowd stayed true. The crowd rose to their feet to support their team time after time in an emotional scene. The " We Are""Penn State" chants echoed throughout the stadium till the very last seconds of the game. Although disappointed with the results of the game I couldn't help but show a little smile. Penn State fans showed why they truly are some of the best in the country. Their unconditional love and support for their team was witnessed by an entire nation this Saturday. From the second the team took the field till the second they left, they had the support of a fan base, a community, a family like no other. They had the support of a Nittany Nation, which even after a loss to Ohio I am proud to be a part of.
