Now, THIS was more like it. For the first time since late 2020, Penn State had a 100-yard rusher. Freshman [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] exploded for 179 yards and two touchdowns. Each of his scores came on big plays with a 70-yard touchdown for his first career touchdown and a 44-yard touchdown later in the game. Singleton was the leader in the running game by far, and it wasn’t even close.

Freshman [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag] was the team’s second-leading rusher with 23 yards, and he added a 22-yard gain on a screen as well. The future of the Penn State running game looked bright for the first time in a while.
