Hackenberg harassed, Penn State goes down to No. 14 MI
“They have had a great run this year and a great result on Friday against Virginia Tech”.
“There’s a mindset when you go out there and your backs are against the wall, and you know you have to hold them to three points or less”, Wormley said. “All the guys on our defensive line, they got a lot of pressure”. Now Duquesne just has to limit its 16 turnovers per game in order to really take that next step.
“We’re trying to be better today than we were yesterday, and we’re trying to be better tomorrow than we are today”, Harbaugh explained. “We weren’t physical enough, and we didn’t give it to them”.
Who says the MI Wolverines don’t have an effective offense? Prince’s shot hit the left post and bounced back into play keeping the 0-0 score intact.
Davis kicked his second and third field goals in the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter, as the Wolverines contained the Nittany Lions twice inside the 10.
Tyrone Wheatley was one of the few who understood, having played and starred at U-M, just like Harbaugh. With the ball, Schafer moved up seven yards before netting her team-leading 13th goal of the season under OSU keeper Jillian McVicker in the 43rd minute. Penn State has fared well out-of-conference against a mostly Atlantic Hockey slate.
SENIOR DAY: Only six players on Penn State’s roster – Kyle Carter, Ben Kline, Angelo Mangiro, Carl Nassib, Matt Zanellato and Anthony Zettel – have played for all three permanent head coaches Penn State has had since 2011’s turmoil following the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
The quarterback has been silent all year when asked if this season would be his final as a Nittany Lion. DU’s previous large margin was in a 36-12 win (+24) on January 30, 1926… the 78 points were DU’s most against the Nittany Lions since an 87-81 overtime win at home on January 19, 1991. Ogle also tallied a goal and an assist against UAlbany in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last week.
The Nittany Lions handled the Terps more easily in the second set.
The Buckeyes, averaging 13.7 shots per game, tallied five attempts. If the Hawkeyes win, they’re going to a New Year’s Six Bowl game – nearly certainly the Rose – at very worst if they don’t win the Big Ten championship. Nickolette Driesse played the ball across the field to a wide-open Echard. The Wolverines survived scares against unranked foes Minnesota and IN, but haven’t had as dominant a defense IN recent weeks and could be setup for another close one if Penn State’s offense can establish the run early and make life easier for QB Christian Hackenberg. With speculation he might leave Penn State to enter the NFL Draft next season seemingly always surrounding him, Hackenberg made it clear he was thinking more about his teammates in that emotional moment. The 2015 team ranks seventh all-time in points (182), eighth all-time in goals (59) and third all-time in assists (64).
