Is the best yet to come for Penn State? Or did that already pass?

The Nittany Lions were ranked as high as No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings this season, but dropped to No. 8 thanks to a loss at Minnesota. Was that Penn State’s apex?

We’ll find out soon enough. This coming Saturday, the Nittany Lions travel to take on No. 2 Ohio State. If they can pull a win off in Columbus, people won’t be talking about that Minnesota loss anymore.

Is Penn State motivated to go to Columbus and pull an upset, though?

Quarterback Sean Clifford certainly believes so:

Penn State isn’t done yet. Again, a win at Ohio State would change everything. Penn State would be the Big Ten East favorite. It would get a chance to potentially revenge its loss to Minnesota in the Big Ten Championship, too.

There is a lot riding on Saturday’s game against the Buckeyes.

Penn State’s hungry for the challenge.
