Is Penn State Finally Ready to Prove They’re Not Just Good at Being Good

Penn State football, the team that has perfected the art of being ‘almost there.’ For years, they’ve been the poster child for a good, almost great, team. Now, they’re gearing up for the Big Ten championship against the undefeated Oregon Ducks, because who doesn’t love a good redemption arc? Coach Franklin has been working tirelessly since 2014, turning a scandal-ridden program into a consistent winner—if you count winning against teams that aren’t top 10. Sure, they’ve racked up those 10-win seasons, but when it comes to crunch time against Michigan and Ohio State, they turn into a bunch of deer caught in headlights. But hey, this time they’re really serious about proving they belong among the elite, right? With everything on the line, it’s not just a game; it’s a chance to kick down the door of college football’s elite. Let’s see if they can finally stop being just ‘good’ and actually be great.
