Penn State made fewer plays than Minnesota for the totality of the game. That said... Penn State also has very legitimate complaints to make about Daniel George's offensive pass interference and the no-call on the interception in the final series.
Michigan actively mocking Penn State now. Patterson with McSorley's home run swing after the touchdown to go up 35-0. Now Winovich after the interception does the same.
Penn State hoops just went to Georgetown, played flat-out harder than its hosts, built a big lead, never let it get below 5, hit 13 3-pointers, and won by 15, in a game the Hoyas were favored to win.

Analysis: Not good.
