Penn State’s gutsy fourth down calls lead to 26-25 win over Minnesota

Nov 24, 05:15 AM

Nothing came easy for the Nittany Lions on the road against Minnesota but a series of gutsy coaching decisions on the final drive led Penn State to a 26-25 win. James Franklin and his staff had Penn State go for it on three different fourth downs on the final drive of the game including a fake punt that was the game changer for the fourth ranked team in the country. Despite defensive struggles early in the game and an offense that took time to get going, the Nittany Lions found a way to go 1-0.

Tyler Warren continued his game-changing performances and made the final catch to seal victory. Was this the final hurdle to Penn State making the College Football Playoff? Where will the Nittany Lions rank after this game and what did Audrey & Jon think of the performance of Drew Allar?
