James Franklin's team has lost three divisional games, but this is the first where it looked truly overmatched. The Nittany Lions missed a couple key opportunities to keep the game close in the first half against a team that doesn't provide many second chances. Trace McSorley, playing with a banged-up knee, wasn't the running threat he usually is, which kept the offense from every establishing a rhythm in Ann Arbor. This team should have what it takes to handle its final three opponents and finish the season with a solid 9-3 record, but Saturday made it clear that it is a tier below the most competitive teams in the country this season. -- Murph
