Penn State turned in a solid effort in Week 8 to score a needed rebound victory over Minnesota. A week after being decimated by Michigan, the Nittany Lions got a full team effort victory from its team, and the box score seems to reflect that. The running game was evenly split, the senior quarterback had a solid night, and a star receiver finally reached the end zone for the first time this season.
The defense also did its job and made sure Minnesota never had much of a chance catching up as the game unfolded in the second half.
Here are some of the key stats from Penn State’s whiteout game victory over Minnesota.
