“One of my favorite wins as a head coach, no question,” Leo said. “For so many reasons, it’s obviously a phenomenal atmosphere. Just as good in college football; credit to Penn State fans. This group is ahead of the curve.”
“This will be a big spark for us going into the bye week and this next stretch of the season. Huge contribution from all around. It’s a tough place to play, a tough place to win. You have to really play here to beat them, and we did it tonight, and we did it in four sets.”
After seven games in seven weeks, Leo and the Trojans will enjoy a much-needed bye week. Then head to Wisconsin on October 24th.
