Social media reacts to Penn State’s win over Indiana
Social media had no shortage of thoughts to share while watching the Penn State game this weekend. Penn State’s struggling offensive performance, head coach James Franklin, and quarterback Drew Allar have been easy targets since the loss at Ohio State last weekend, and none of them did much to change the emotions for the majority of the afternoon in a home win over Indiana.
But at least this one ended with a win.
Despite coming out on top of the Hoosiers in a 33-24 game, social media vented some frustrations about the current look of Penn State football. But to be fair, being tied with the worst team in the Big Ten with just under three minutes to play does not typically silence the critics.
Here is a look at some of the social media highlights from Penn State’s victory over Indiana in Week 9.

Why do we do this to ourselves?
It is football torture watching Penn State’s offense on Saturdays and then the Steelers on Sundays.

All that talk about going deep finally paying off?
Thank you, Drew Allar!!
Finally throwing downfield! 57 yard TD!
Maybe his first INT and this unreasonably close game against a 2-5 IU football team was the wake up call he needed.
Let’s go! #WeAre #PennState
