Allen became Penn State’s all-time leading rusher to highlight the Nittany Lions’ dominant 37-10 victory over Nebraska on Senior Day. Penn State honored 34 seniors ahead of kickoff, including Allen, injured quarterback Drew Allar, running back Nick Singleton and defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton.
Elias Rapieque was credited with three of the early turnovers, but several K-State players were sloppy with the ball. Haggerty lost three turnovers in the fist half, too. Nebraska took advantage by scoring 17 points off of turnovers in the first half.
The Cornhuskers are off to a 5-0 start with marquee wins coming against New Mexico and Oklahoma. Nebraska plays a similar style to K-State. Fred Hoiberg’s team likes to fire away from the 3-point line. It has made a combined total of 28 shots from beyond the arc in its past two games. Pryce Sandfort is the team’s leading scorer.
Losers of six consecutive games, Terry Smith’s Nittany Lions have now won two in a row by a combined score of 65-20. Michigan State was roughed up by Penn State 28-10 in East Lansing two weeks ago. Nebraska, coached by former Penn State player Matt Rhule, was drubbed 37-10 by the Lions on Senior Night on Saturday.
Nebraska’s road trip adventures are set to continue as the Huskers head to Penn State to face the Nittany Lions.
