Penn State doesn’t let rain delay dampen fireworks
The Penn State offense came out on fire in the second half of its win over West Virginia. We’ll discuss how running back Nick Singleton ripped off two runs of 40-yard runs and how the offense found its mojo after a 2023 season that felt like a grind offensively. On the day, the team gained 149 yards on explosive runs over eight carries of ten or more yards.
Next, we’ll highlight Drew Allar’s play on the day and, how he changed his mentality after an offseason of work and how the Nittany Lions found a rhythm in the passing game. Again, big plays were the name of the game. Allar tossed six passes for 178 yards including a 50-yard touchdown strike to Trey Wallace that led to the team’s first big touchdown of the game.

Trouble spots to clean up?
However, it wasn’t all rosy for the Penn State offense. Beau Pribula’s presence in the run game struggled to make the impact that the team hoped for. He finished the game with three carries for 25 yards, mixed with an “almost” fumble early in the game. However, his presence paid off in the end as he tossed the game-sealing touchdown in the red zone from 19 yards out to Tyler Warren.
Penn State defense dominates
Next, we’ll discuss the defense’s play and how they stopped the West Virginia attack in the second half and put quarterback Garrett Greene into a no-win situation. Linebacker Tony Rojas made plays in the first half, but he settled down in the second and became a dangerous weapon for the Penn State defense. We highlight his accomplishments and what they mean for the team.
The Penn State safeties were lights out in the first half, but the team gave up some chunk plays in the second, which led to a West Virginia touchdown. Yet overall, the secondary had an excellent day. We discuss their performance.
