Week 8 - 10/17/2015
Posted on August 15, 2012 at 12:05 PM.
Nebraska entered Happy Valley looking for an identity. They left Happy Valley still seeking it. Steven Bench threw for 5 scores, Matt Zanellato caught 4 of them, and Akeel Lynch ran wild over the "blackshirts" defense en route to an easy 42-13 victory.

Penn State moves to 7-0 and hosts Northwestern next week in Beaver Stadium in a matchup of top 10 teams.

Week 7 - 10/10/15
Posted on August 14, 2012 at 10:51 PM.
Illinois boasted a top 10 ranking nationally. Penn State was still finding itself. Consider them found as they blister the Illini through the air, and with a stout defense, 38-17.

The defense tallied 8 QB sacks, and held the Illini to 16 yards rushing. Steven Bench was phenomenal completing 25/30 passes for 5 touchdowns.

Penn State should move into the top 10 in the rankings and host Nebraska next week at Beaver Stadium.

#25 Penn State marched into the old horseshoe undermanned, and left the 'shoe with a hard-fought 26-21 victory over #24 Ohio State.

Penn State's defense led the way with 5 sacks and 4 created turnovers. Akeel Lynch found just enough running room to run for nearly 120 yards on 18 carries. When Ronald Jackson intercepted a Cordale Jones pass with 38 seconds left, the celebration began.

Penn State heads home to face #19 Illinois next week.
