Year 2 of the renewal was played in Happy Valley this year with a decidedly different result as the Nittany Lions cruised to a 33-14 win Saturday afternoon.
So, big win for James Franklin and his football program? Well, not exactly.James Franklin: “I know last year beating us for them was like the Super Bowl. This was just like beating Akron for us.”
