The Penn State Football team defeated Boise State on New Year's Eve in the Fiesta Bowl and advanced to the Semifinals in the College Football Playoff. The team will play either Georgia or Notre Dame, which will be decided on Jan 2. at 4 pm. The game was delayed by the terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Years Day. Today, we'll start with the grim situation and discuss what we know about the general plan for the College Football Playoff, and then discuss Penn State's win.

Penn State runs over Boise State defense

After the game, Penn State head coach James Franklin expounded on how his running backs played when asked what made them so gret.

"That's Kaytron. Kaytron breaks tackles. He runs people over. He's a physical, physical back. Nick, obviously, if you give him a crease, he has got a chance to go 80 at any minute. So, they're really good complementary backs. They've been playing together for a long time. When we're able to get the outside zone going like we were able to do today, kind of opens everything else up and gets people running sideline to sideline, which creates creases," Franklin said.

We'll discuss the outcome of Penn State's win, and what happened on offense to slow down the team's hot start.

Defense dominates

Next, we'll discuss the team's defensive performance which kept superstar running back Ashton Jeanty. We'll discuss the ways that Penn State went about putting an emphasis on stopping Jenaty and how effective it was.

We'll also discuss what the team gave up to do so. Quarterback Maddux Madsen threw for over 300 yards in the game and kept the Boise State offense churning plays and drives.

Mixed into all of that is the injury to Abdul Carter. How did that affect the game plan, and what will happen next for the Nittany Lions? We'll discuss the somewhat dire situation on the defensive line with the depth heading into a showdown against two teams with strong running games.
