The wait, long and miserable though it may have been - through global turmoil and an on-again, off-again season that maybe would have been better left staying "off-again" - was worth it. With a gutsy road performance against a higher-ranked opponent that recalled the glory days of Penn State football, led by a defense that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the many legends who wore the Blue and White before them, James Franklin and the Nittany Lions began the 2021 campaign in style, pulling out a dramatic 16-10 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers. Penn State went 1-0 this week to start 1-0 this season, and the possibilities that now lay before this team hold a promise for all those who love the name of Dear Old State.
