Will Ash be able to rally his team for a late-season effort against No. 8 Penn State? Barkley was hit behind the line or dropped for no gain on 15 of his 33 carries and Penn State finished with 77 rushing yards on 45 carries. Penn State defeated Iowa 41-14. It’s just a fun match.

This isn’t over yet – no way in this conference – but the Nebraska volleyball team’s Big Ten Conference championship hopes took one more crucial step forward Wednesday with a dominating sweep of No. 15 Penn State. On Rutgers’ second possession last week against Michigan State, Rescigno threw a pick-six to give Michigan State a 14-0 lead and the Spartans rolled from there.
The chances the next man up will be a returning starter when Penn State travels to play Rutgers (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) on Saturday are unknown. However, that’s not the only reason Husker fans showed up for a midweek match in Lincoln. Nebraska led in kills (44-28), blocks (9-5) and digs (54-43). Their strength on both sides of the ball have been demonstrated throughout the season. He probably doesn’t need another monster night like that for Penn State to grab the road victory, but another 1.8 yards-per-carry night like last week would certainly raise some concern.
The tattered state of the No. 9 Nittany Lions’ offensive line proved to be the major talking point of Franklin’s weekly media meeting, and as positive a sign as it was for Penn State that McGovern might be able to play, there was not-so-good news, too.
The remainder of the set was nearly all Nebraska, as Penn State couldn’t seem to find a way to go on a run. Bouts of six and seven straight kills fell almost back-to-back and the offense on each side went to work.
The Lions’ offense may look shaky at times considering that re-shaped offensive line and McSorley’s gimpy ankle.
Two years ago, before Rutgers played Penn State for the first time as a member of the Big Ten, then-head coach Kyle Flood tried to stir up some conversation by calling the opponent “that team from Pennsylvania”.
But senior rightside hitter Kadie Rolfzen said records don’t really matter when these two teams go at it. “They don’t separate fast tempo, they bring it”. I don’t believe that is who we are. The two matched up throughout the night as Lee contributed six kills and had 31 total attacks on the night.
In the first set, Foecke was blasting kills against one blocker and had five kills on 10 swings.

“We knew it was going to be tough game”, Grand Canyon coach Dan Majerle said. “They dug deep, they got back to the middle of the ring, they punched back and we took the lead”.

Cook said the team will take the remainder of the season one match at a time. But Franklin again declined Tuesday to say whether Mahon was out for the year, saying only that, “We’ll see how it goes”. “It’s good for a lot of the guys on the team. I feel like the rotation, we’re starting to get used to it, starting to get used to where guys are going to be”.
