Running Backs
Grade: B-plus
Penn State’s running back duo of [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] and [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag] had a good season debut, although neither rushed for 100 yards and Singleton scored the only rushing touchdown by a Penn State running back. Each had some good runs that reminded you how much of an impact they will each have in the offense this season. Singleton even put on display his ability to throw a few good blocks for the passing game.
The two backs combined for 121 yards on 23 combined rushing attempts on a night when Penn State rushed for 146 yards as a team, so they certainly left their mark on this one. Allen also added a 15-yard reception.
