You might have had mixed feelings watching Kaytron Allen run into the end zone on Saturday.
It’s always fun to watch the Fatman in the open field, if you’re a Penn State fan, especially on a well-blocked play, and more fun if that run results in six points. However, you also might have wondered exactly what the hell Allen—and the rest of the offensive starters—were still doing in the game with just under 11 minutes to play in the fourth quarter against an FCS opponent.
The Nittany Lions’ third straight squandered cover win was another head-scratcher. They went right down the field on the game’s opening drive, covering 78 yards in 12 plays with a precision and a confidence that suggested they had purged many of the, uh, inconsistencies that we saw the first two weeks.
And then we saw about three more quarters of those inconsistencies.
