Points After: Purdue's loss to Penn State
Another week, another one-sided loss to an elite team, as fourth-ranked Penn State drove the Boilermakers’ losing streak to nine games Saturday, 49-10.
It was more of the same, as the Nittany Lions had few issues against Purdue’s woebegone defense, jumping out to a quick 14-0 lead before leading 21-3 at half. Penn State tight end Tyler Warren caught seven passes for 119 yards and a TD in the first half alone. He then ran for a 48-yard score in the third as Penn State cruised in the second half. Drew Allar completed 17-of-19 passes.

• … especially as Purdue fields what has to be the worst Power 4 defense in America. The Boilermakers’ inability to just stop opponents’ basic stuff make them an absolute sitting duck against counter punches, misdirection, whatever.
• In a season full of embarrassments, De’Nylon Morrissette catching a touchdown pass, wide open, but with two feet out of bounds, straddling the pylon, took the cake.
