The No. 7 Nittany Lions remain unbeaten at 3-0 behind a defensive effort that forced five turnovers
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — No. 7 Penn State owes its defense a huge debt of gratitude as it consistently bailed out a struggling offense that dealt with drops, missed reads, and blocking all on a day quarterback Drew Allar found arguably his toughest as a starter to date.
Allen, who led the Nittany Lions with 54 rushing yards, dragged two defenders into the end zone and celebrated with teammates after scoring Penn State’s first touchdown in four possessions, three of which were produced by turnovers on consecutive defensive drives. Tight end Tyler Warren caught his second touchdown of the year off a trick play passing touchdown from running back Trey Potts. Singleton’s 16-yard rushing score made it 30-7 Nittany Lions in the fourth quarter.
