The Nittany Lions built their lead methodically, scoring 7 points in the first quarter, adding 3 more in the second, and pulling away with 10 points in the third before closing with 14 in the fourth quarter.
The Penn State offense was efficient throughout, with standout performances including a 67-yard touchdown run by Kaytron Allen in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game's most impactful play. Drew Allar connected with Devonte Ross on a 42-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, though a conversion attempt failed due to a holding penalty.
