Tyler Warren was doing it all for the Nittany Lions.

Editor’s note: This story was updated to include the final score and stats.

No. 6 Penn State’s road game against USC in Week 7 on Saturday was a nail-biter that went to overtime before the Nittany Lions ultimately won, 33-30.

In the incredible comeback win — Penn State was down by two touchdowns at one point — Nittany Lions senior tight end Tyler Warren had an exceptional game all over the field.

He ran for it, he threw the ball and he racked up 17 receptions for 224 yards and a touchdown, averaging 13.2 yards per catch. As the CBS broadcast noted, Warren tied the FBS record for most single-game receptions among tight ends with his 17 catches.

But we’re here to talk about that touchdown catch because it was anything but ordinary.

With a little bit of trickery early in the third quarter, Warren snapped the ball on first-and-10 from USC’s 32-yard line to sophomore quarterback Beau Pribula, who then threw it behind him to Penn State starting quarterback Drew Allar. The double pass allowed Warren to take off (as an eligible receiver) and make the 32-yard touchdown catch in the end zone to help shrink the Nittany Lions’ deficit to 20-13.

Here are a couple more looks at exactly how Warren pulled this off:

He was really doing it all in this game, and, as CBS noted, he took snaps at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and, of course, tight end.
