And it wasn't intended to be a knock on NP .but more of a knock on Penn and how far they have slipped . Let's be honest , prior to 2015 going back some 30 years , Penn would easily beat NP 9 out of every 10 games . Going back over 30 years , NP has a losing record against Laporte . Laporte has always been either the bottom feeder or mid pack in the DAC . Penn owned the Top DAC teams for the better part of 30 years , I bet the DAC might have 6-7 wins from 1985-2015 . So talking about big conference games and losses to NP shows just how far Penn has slipped .
