Penn State 17 – Nevada 0

Already up 10-0, Penn State added to its lead with a 12-yard touchdown rush by Kaytron Allen early in the second quarter. Allen and Nicholas Singleton combined for 51 yards through the first 20 minutes of gameplay.

Penn State 36 – Nevada 3

Dani Dennis-Sutton re-entered Beaver Stadium fierce after the half with his second forced fumble of the game, leading to another Nittany Lions’ touchdown.
