Overview

• Penn State overcame a 10-point deficit and multiple special teams errors to edge Minnesota 26-25 on the road.
• A critical 32-yard fake punt and three fourth-down conversions in the fourth quarter preserved Penn State's narrow lead.
• Quarterback Drew Allar threw for 244 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for a score, avoiding turnovers in a high-pressure game.
• Minnesota's creative play-calling, including a double-reverse flea flicker touchdown, kept the game competitive but was undone by two costly turnovers.
• The win keeps Penn State's College Football Playoff hopes intact as they prepare to host Maryland in their regular-season finale next week.
