Jedd Fisch on Penn State Loss
Nov 8, 2026
The game was a tale of two halves in a lot of ways,
but we did not play good football
in the first half, we played much better football in the second half.
You know, it's unique to have a 28-6 half-time deficit
and then a 19-0 second half.
I thought we had opportunity there in the second half.
I was convinced after we got the two-point play, and it was 28-25,
that we were going to get a stop
and get a score and win that football game
and have a pretty remarkable comeback down 22.
Can't put ourselves in that position, being down 22.
Did not get started the way we want to.
Thought we had a really nice opening drive.
But outside of that, offensively,
it was a challenge the first few drives.
And then defensively, we struggled to get started that first half.
They caused a lot of challenges for us.
And credit to our coaching staff in the second half.
We thought they did a really good job of adjusting
and put ourselves in a position
to win the football game with,
I guess it was six and a half minutes left.
But we scored to make it 28-25, and then it became normal football.
But we didn't get the ball back.
