Hello there, Penn State fan! Is your heart finally beating still after yesterday's cluster-thriller? Great! Now, you can re-live all the heart-stopping fun from yesterday (and maybe have a few laughs at others' expense) through some links.
From The Beat
ESPN's Big Ten Blogger Austin Ward recapped the game and let us know what this means for PSU going forward
Centre Daily Times' Jordan Rodrigue harps on the 'one-by-one' mentality the PSU team has adopted
StateCollege.com's Ben Jones focused on how a defense that put together a sub-par performance for most of the game, stepped up when it absolutely needed to
USA Today's Paul Myerberg had a #hottake that worthy of making PennLive commenters' heads explode (Translation: It was a very reasonable take)
From The Twitters (okay, more like from the RealPennLiveComments Twitters)
All that build up of Barkley and just another average PSU running back.

Forget the fact that Maryland sold out on shutting down the run by stuffing eight or nine guys in the box routinely, HE'S SAQUON BARKLEY, DAMN IT. HE'S SUPPOSED TO RUN FOR 500 YARDS ON THIS POROUS MARYLAND DEFENSE AFTER PUTTING UP NEARLY 200 ON OHIO STATE. TRANSITIVE PROPERTY, FOOLS.
Where were Franklin's "Joe Cool" shades? It's creepy to see his eyes and be reminded how he is in over his head when he doesn't have them on

Oh, come on, now! He can't possibly look that cree-GAHHHHHHH MY RETINAS ARE BURNING
Does any body else think it's strange that Koolaide sponsors Franklin's post game interviews?

You mean to tell me that Blaise Alexander isn't a car dealership?
James Fraud-klin, footballs equivalent of Barack Obama.

Oh, the fitting analogies I could make about the Franklin-Obama comparisons, but I'm going to take the high road and #sticktosports.
Okay, let's rinse out all the stupid with some more uplifting tweets, starting with 2016 kicker verbal Quinn Nordin, whom many thought was bound to flip for Michigan after visiting them last weekend:
Got that dub #PennState

2016 Defensive End verbal (and proud Maryland native) Shane Simmons is happy to see PSU bowling
What A Time To Be Alive #BowlGame

2016 Defensive Tackle commit Ellison Jordan (also a Maryland native) is also thrilled

Troy Reeder was impressed with how loud the Penn State contingent was at M&T Bank Stadium
Ours fans causing the opposing offense to false start in an away game? Says a lot about the way #NittanyNation travels! Thank you! #WEARE
