Penn State offensive lineman Juice Scruggs celebrates with Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford after he scored a touchdown against Auburn during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022, in Auburn, Ala. If Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin was hoping to get some of the heat off his back, it won’t happen after his team’s performance on Saturday vs. No. 22 Penn State.
While PSU got a combined four touchdowns from the dynamic freshman running back duo of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen, the defense was in the Auburn backfield all afternoon. The Nittany Lions forced four Auburn turnovers, including two deep in PSU territory. Auburn moved the ball relatively well, but red zone success — or lack thereof — was the difference early on. Auburn was held to multiple red zone field goals while the Nittany Lions consistently finished drives with touchdowns. As a result, PSU took a 14-6 lead into halftime.PSU’s first drive of the second half needed just three Singleton runs — a 53-yard burst, a four-yarder and then a one-yard touchdown plunge — to add to the lead.
Penn State’s defense forced a fumble of Auburn QB T.J. Finley on the ensuing drive and then picked off another Auburn QB, Robby Ashford, later in the third.
