Here’s what we learned from thePenn State’s offense revolves around tight end Tyler Warren. Purdue knew that coming in but still had no answers for one of the nation’s most versatile players.
The big plays brought Warren up to 991 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns this season. He has set the Penn State tight end record for single-season receptions and yards and now is tied with Pat Freiermuth for most receiving touchdowns .had an extremely efficient day, throwing more touchdowns than incompletions . Running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen were effective on limited carries, gaining 60 yards on 13 total carries.
Purdue finished 5-for-14 on third down. Its two good drives in the first half ended in field-goal attempts , which prevented the Boilermakers from making this much of a game. The only weakness for Penn State was stopping Purdue's star tight end Max Klare, who led the team with 91 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. No other Purdue player had more than two catches.Penn State coach James Franklin said before the game that more of his true freshmen would get involved during the final three weeks of the regular season.
