It's true
The defending national champion Nittany Lions began the season ranked #4 in the nation, but suffered through three straight losses, with two to ranked opponents (#1 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Nebraska_Cornhuskers_football_team and #13 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Iowa_Hawkeyes_football_team), which dropped them out of the polls. Penn State rebounded with five straight victories, beating #3 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Alabama_Crimson_Tide_football_team and #4 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_West_Virginia_Mountaineers_football_team before a match-up with #19 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Boston_College_Eagles_football_team. The 27–17 loss to the Eagles was their last of the season, as they beat https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Bears_football and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish_football_team (while tying https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Pittsburgh_Panthers_football_team) to finish with a 7–4–1 record. This was their 13th straight appearance in a https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl_gamehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Aloha_Bowl#cite_note-halsqoff-2 and they were favored by one point.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Aloha_Bowl#cite_note-bln-1

Don James gets worse and worse the further away we get from his era. It is a classic HHB talking point.Ty and Sark always had really tough schedules too

Beat Iowa (we get a safety), lose to the fighting Cohens. 8-4 sounds close.
