Penn State offensive tackle Drew Shelton and safety Zakee Wheatley have watched how the Nittany Lions have responded to their shocking loss to UCLA.

Each was asked Tuesday to describe the team mood this week in one word.

“We’re hungry,” said Shelton, a Downingtown West product. “We know what we have to do. We have to find a way to get better no matter what, try to put it behind us and keep pushing.”

Unranked Penn State (0-2 Big Ten, 3-2) hopes to rebound against Northwestern (1-1, 3-2) Saturday at 3:30 (TV-FS1) at Beaver Stadium.

The Lions are coming off a game in which they allowed the most rushing yards (269) by an opponent in three years and the most points by an opponent (42) in a regular season game in three years.
