No. 2 Penn State Rolls Past Nevada 46-11 in Season Opener

A takeaway-heavy start reinforced the Nittany Lions’ standing as early title contenders.

Overview

  • Quarterback Drew Allar went 22-for-26 for 217 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown to USC transfer Kyron Hudson.
  • Nicholas Singleton scored twice on short runs while Kaytron Allen added a 13-yard rushing TD, and kicker Ryan Barker converted four field goals.
  • Penn State’s defense produced three takeaways as Dani Dennis-Sutton forced two fumbles with 2.5 tackles for loss and Zane Durant intercepted Chubba Purdy inside the 10.
  • Nevada, rebuilding with 50-plus newcomers after a 3-10 season, mustered 203 yards and just 78 on the ground with Purdy limited to 97 passing yards.
  • The Nittany Lions improved to 1-0 and return to Beaver Stadium to face Florida International next Saturday.
