UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Nicholas Singleton set Penn State’s freshman single-season rushing touchdown record with two more scores Saturday evening in the Nittany Lions’ 30-0 victory over Maryland at Beaver Stadium.
Tight end Brenton Strange got Penn State’s scoring underway, catching a 3-yard pass from Sean Clifford for the game’s first touchdown. On two different fourth-and-1 attempts, Singleton’s number was called upon and he did not flinch.
On each fourth down, Singleton scampered into the end zone, in the first quarter from 45 yards away and in the second frame from 27 yards out. Singleton’s pair of scoring runs gave Penn State a commanding 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
