Penn State vs. Kent State recap
The game started much like the season for Kent State, which is to say a total disaster. Starting quarterback Devin Kargman to a nasty hit from Penn State’s defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton and had to leave the game on a stretcher after the second play of the game with a leg injury.
However, it was a slow start to the game. The Penn State offense put together several long drives, but one ended with a Beau Pribula interception in the red zone on a screen. The second ended with a Tyler Warren touchdown and the Nittany Lions took a 7-0 lead into the second quarter.
However, the team built up steam throughout the second quarter and finished at a blistering pace. Quarterback Drew Allar began to attack downfield and the team scored twice within two minutes before halftime. After halftime, Allar tossed a 59-yard touchdown to Omari Evans to end the day for the starting offense. Allar compiled 309 yards and three touchdowns before heading to the bench.
Defense smothers Kent State
The Penn State defense made the game a literal non-contest after it began the day as a virtual non-contest. After knocking Kragman out of the game, backup quarterback JD Sherrod had to leave with a lower-body injury. The defense played multiple depth players throughout the contest, even early. Despite that, they allowed only 62 yards through three and a half quarters.
We’ll highlight some notable players and young talent that stood out in the game.
