It's exhausting to see a vibrant spot forl after dropping its fourth straight sport in a turnover-riddled efficiency to Michigan on the street, but when there’s one, it will simply be Chase Sowell.
Within the s' 21-18 loss to the s, the redshirt senior and e switch was the very best vast receiver on the sector from both crew, recording 11 catched for 151 yards and a landing. It was Sowell's finest sport by far in a Penn State uniform, from his first double-digit reception sport to his first 100-yard sport, and he did it with contested catch after contested catch.
Nonetheless, the temper was somber after the loss regardless of the memorable efficiency.
"It's very irritating, no matter what I did," Sowell mentioned after the sport. "I all the time really feel like I can do extra to assist the crew. I, and quite a lot of the fellows on this offense, take quite a lot of accountability. It all the time hurts, no matter what you probably did on the sector."
Since Koby Howard went down with an harm, Sowell has change into a extra distinguished determine within the passing assault for head coach l and the Penn State offense. During the last 4 video games, he's steadily progressed, turning into extra snug with the scheme. If it wasn't for him, the offense could be in a a lot worse place.
At 3-4, Penn State's season outlook is bleak, however the silver lining might be how properly Sowell has performed with out Howard to enrich him. As soon as Howard returns (each time that’s), the offense must be extra dynamic and explosive than it was to begin the 12 months, hopefully leading to a optimistic end for Campbell's first 12 months on the helm.
