Grade: D-minus

Four fumbles by the running backs. One from both [autotag]Keyvone Lee[/autotag] and [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag] and two from [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag]. Had they not run for 223 yards and kept the Northwestern offense off the field, this could have been a much more dreadful outcome for the Nittany Lions.
