Random Posting for Penn State 10/1/16

Here are 9 Nittany Nuggets from today's game:

1.)  It's been awhile since we've been in OT, right?

2.)  But that was the best kind of OT to be in, no?
3.)  Let's get something straight right up front.  The Nittany Lion is our mascot.  But, you know, so is Joey JULIUS (kind of).  So y'all best be nice to him -- especially you who are Jaylen WATERS, you hear?
4.)  And thanks Coach FRANKLIN for your immediate reaction of running on the field to get the players away from a confrontation after that hit ... I recall a coach from the old days who would have benched anyone who got out of control like that.
5.)  Way to go Tyler DAVIS -- that's how we like our kickers -- downright Fickenesque.
6.)  Can someone please tell me about those interpretative dancers on the sideline communicating calls via charades ... and are they second and third stringers?  Or are they from the theatre department (not that there's anything wrong with that)?
7.)  How great was it that they played Aretha FRANKLIN'S 'Think' as the refs were taking too long to review one of those plays!
8.)  Hey announcerpeople ... can I get Dick HONIG's job?  I think he speaks once per game of late ... which is a pretty good gig if you can get it.

9.)  I don't care what anyone else says.  *My* player of the week is indeed Trace MCSORLEY, who demonstrated the type of calmness under pressure that wins games that seem lost.

In closing, thanks to FICKEN for being so classy as to text DAVIS when he overtook his record today ... and here's to trying to string together two wins in a row (for the first time this season) next week with the Maryland game!
