The Penn State Nittany Lions put together its most complete game of the season on Saturday in the team's final regular season contest. They defeated the Michigan State Spartans with a furious rally, pouring on 15 third-quarter points in the third quarter
Join the BWI Live Postgame Show to discuss the game. We're breaking down the game and how Penn State used subtle tweaks to the passing game that unlocked big plays.
We're live moments after the game's conclusion for 60 minutes of postgame discussion.
Penn State offense finally gets its explosive plays
After months of frustration and conversation, the Penn State offense finally went off against a struggling Michigan State team. During the game, the offense hit explosive plays of 60, 53, 50, and 40 yards. Drew Allar hit a 60-yard pass to Omari Evans in a full-circle moment that echoed his second pass of the season against West Virginia to begin the year.
Meanwhile, Kaytron Allen ripped off two runs of 50 and 40 against the Spartan's defense to reestablish the team's big-play prowess. Nick Singleton chipped into the action with a 53-yard screen pass, with a great block from Tyler Warren. Singleton capped off his day with a 14-yard burst in the red zone during the fourth quarter.
However, things were close early; the team gained 308 yards at halftime but only 13 points. Penalties and sacks in the red zone stymied the scoring opportunities early. However, Penn State eventually showed they had the firepower to knock out Michigan State.
Defense dominant once again
As expected, the Penn State defense was dominant once again. The starting unit pitched a shutout. The defense was relentless, with six sacks during the competitive portion of the game. Michigan State put together two potential scoring drives, but Jaylen Reed snuffed the first out with an interception. Adisa Isaac forced an intentional grounding pass from wide receiver. Alante Brown.
From there, the team never mounted a threat to the Penn State defense. The starters forced seven three-and-outs and 74 yards in the game. However, injuries were a scare during the game. Defensive end Chop Robinson was stepped on during the first half's final play. JB Nelson came out of the first drive and wasn't seen again. Finally, Abdul Carter was injured and didn't return to the game.
We're discussing those points and your thoughts on the Penn State offense and defense on the BWI Live Postgame Show.
