They began the season ranked No. That's what happens when you open the season with a road win over Wisconsin, follow it up with a home victory against Auburn, and sprinkle in easy wins over Ball State, the defending MAC champion, and Villanova.
Of course, it doesn't hurt when highly-ranked teams like Ohio State and Clemson lose games, too. Regardless of the circumstances, you'd have a hard time arguing that the Nittany Lions haven't been one of the most impressive teams in the country.
Sean Clifford's big step forward: To be blunt, Clifford was one of the most prominent question marks about this team before the season.

Do you sense that happened with the Hoosiers entering this season? Maybe a little bit. They still feel like they can go to Penn State and win. They beat the Nittany Lions last year and played them tough a year earlier in Happy Valley.
This is a good team with talent everywhere. They have not shut the door on this season at all, and they still plan on making some noise along the way. That starts Saturday night.
