In what’s been a trend this year, the Nittany Lions started extremely slow and lead the Owls just 6-3 at halftime. However, a strong second half, especially by the running backs led Penn State to the big victory. Quarterback Christian Hackenberg still struggled, but luckily, the rest of the team picked him up.
