Running Backs
Grade: C-minus
Penn State dedicated the game plan to spreading the football around its running backs. The result was a team rushing total of 98 yards. Freshman Kaytron Allen led all players with 31 rushing yards on eight attempts, and Keyvone Lee added 30 yards on nine attempts. Nick Singleton added 22 yards on nine carries.
We’ll see how long Mike Yurcich continues to spread the ball like this, but the team needs more production out of the running game. Much of that perhaps starts with the offensive line.
