Highs & Lows: Penn State serves Senior Night win over Nebraska
“Tonight, we witnessed greatness from Kaytron Allen. Penn State has been playing football for an awfully long time. To be the number one rusher in the history of this place is an impressive thing that he accomplished tonight. What makes it even more impressive is that he’s a guy who had to share carries for four years. To break the record tonight, hats off to him. Game ball to him. Unbelievable effort, performance. I think he had 160 yards tonight. Just a tremendous effort from him.
“Nick Singleton tied the career touchdown mark with Saquon Barkley. Just another unbelievable effort by the tandem.”
