BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Penn State’s freshman running backs combined for four touchdowns en route to the Nittany Lions securing a 45-14 win to give Indiana its sixth consecutive loss on a windy Saturday evening.
Running back Nicholas Singleton struck first for Penn State, plunging into the end zone on his first carry of the game for a 1-yard touchdown run. Indiana responded on the ensuing drive when quarterback Jack Tuttle, who was making his first start of the year, connected with tight end AJ Barner from 8 yards out to tie the game up at seven points apiece. The Nittany Lions were in command of the game from there and scored 38 unanswered points.
Fellow running back Kaytron Allen got in on the scoring act in the second quarter, finding pay dirt on two occasions, once on an 11-yard scamper and later for a 6-yard score. Just before halftime, kicker Jake Pinegar converted a career-long 50-yard field goal to put Penn State up 24-7 at the break.
