Post-Game Link Dump: Northwestern

The Penn State Nittany Lions lost to the Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday. People wrote about it.

Mike Poorman of StateCollege.com focused on the offense's over-reliance on Saquon Barkley and Chris Godwin. Ben Jones gave some less-than-ideal grades to all three units.

Jourdan Rodrigue from the Centre Daily Times has a quote from James Franklin on the offense's use of the wildcat.

Joe Juliano of the Philadelphia Inquirer broke down James Franklin's clock management failures with quotes from the Penn State head coach.

Audrey Snyder of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recapped the game and includes a quote from Jason Cabinda about the defense's missed opportunities.

Greg Pickel of PennLive looks toward the bye week and how it will impact 7-3 Penn State heading into the final two games of the regular season.

Nate Bauer of Blue White Illustrated points out that the Penn State offense took too long to get going Saturday, and that a play like the touchdown pass from Geno Lewis to DaeSean Hamilton could have been used earlier in the game to spark the unit. Tim Owen handed out grades, with Saquon Barkley grading out well.

And of course, we have you covered here at Black Shoe Diaries. Nick Polak has a few takeaways from the game, Tim Aydin handed out his own grades, and Mary Clarke has the full recap of what exactly went down in Evanston.
