Running Backs
Grade: A
Penn State’s superiority on the ground was evident right from the start. Kaytron Allen ended his day with a game-high 103 rushing yards on 19 attempts with one touchdown. Nick Singleton had just 47 rushing yards but added three touchdowns on 12 rushing attempts. Neither player’s rushing total will turn heads in the Doak Walker conversation, but Penn State continued to allow its leading running backs to split the production effectively in a relatively stress-free game, keeping each healthy heading into a Big Ten stretch coming up.
Newcomer via the transfer portal Trey Potts got in on the fun with 59 rushing yards on seven carries in the second half. As a team, Penn State rushed for 315 yards with seven different players carrying the football.
