Penn State football once again responded to a loss with a blowout win. This time they dominated Indiana, scoring 31 points before the start of the fourth quarter on the way to a 45 to 14 route. The Nittany Lion defense gave up a touchdown on the second drive of the game but then shut down the Hoosiers offense for the rest of the game. Join the BWI Live Postgame show to discuss the big win for the Nittany Lions and have your questions answered.

Penn State defense, Allen power Penn State to win

The Penn State defense allowed eight yards after that initial drive before the offense put the game away, and the backups came into the game with seven minutes left in the third quarter. That dominating effort was spearheaded by the Penn State defensive line that knocked starting quarterback Jack Tuttle out of the game while forcing six sacks. In addition, the Nittany Lion run defense smothered Indiana with 16 tackles for loss.

On offense, Kaytron Allen dominated the game for Penn State, who ran through the Indiana defense with ease. Allen forced multiple missed tackles on the way to 85 yards rushing and three touchdowns to go, with two catches for 72 yards. Allen caught a simple check-down from quarterback Sean Clifford and then weaved through the Indiana secondary to set up a go-ahead touchdown moments later. He finished with three touchdowns to power the Nittany Lions to the blowout.

Drew Allar continues to impress

With a blowout win comes the backup quarterback. Penn State fan’s favorite reserve player, Drew Allar, impressed in his 20-plus minutes on the field, throwing two touchdowns, including a strike from the one-yard line to Harrison Wallace. Clifford had an up-and-down day, throwing a bad early interception, but fighting back with several good throws on the run to generate explosive yards to receiver Mitchell Tinsley.
