THE 24-HOUR RULE: A Statement Game vs. 4-6 Penn State? Yup.

No, seriously. I get it. Penn State is only 4-6 with a 1-6 conference record – but just snapped a 6-game losing streak which included three losses against teams currently in the top 10 and just-nudged-out Iowa. They just narrowly missed a huge upset against Indiana and handled a Michigan State team from which Nebraska […]
