PHOTOS: Penn State overcomes early struggles to down FIU

After living up to expectations in Week 1, it took some time for Penn State football to round into form versus FIU. Nevertheless, the Nittany Lions still produced a commanding win, downing the Panthers 34-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Filling up the stat sheet with aggressive defense and a dynamic aerial attack against Nevada, the Blue and White turned in a much more balanced – and at times sleepy – performance this week.

“I think we’re still working towards that [our identity]. I don’t know if you necessarily know at the end of training camp what your identity is going to be,” James Franklin said afterward. ” You have an idea of what you think, but it’s an evolution until you get to the games and start doing it. I don’t know if we’re there yet. I still think we’re trying to figure that out.”
