- Penn State didn't lead until late in the third quarter Saturday at Minnesota, but in the end, the Nittany Lions were able to pull out the win, defeating the Gophers 26-25. Despite going 1 for 11 on third downs, Penn State was able to capitalize on two Minnesota turnovers that led to six points and ultimately played a part in James Franklin's team improving to 10-1 on the year, and most importantly, keeping its College Football Playoff hopes alive.
Penn State was tested on the road against USC earlier this season and Minnesota gave them a similar scare today, going up 10-0 early in the second quarter. Quarterback Drew Allar and the offense were able to respond with a five-play, 75-yard drive that ended in a 45-yard touchdown to wide receiver Omari Evans. The first of two turnovers then came four plays later, as linebacker Dominic DeLuca intercepted Max Brosmer. Penn State wasn't able to convert for a touchdown, but they did get a field goal that tied the game. Both teams then traded touchdowns late in the second quarter, but a blocked extra point kept it from being a tie game after Ethan Robinson returned the kick for a two-point conversion, giving Minnesota a 19-16 lead going into halftime.
But as we've seen so many times this season, Penn State's effort in the second half reached a different level. Defensively, they held the Gophers to just six points. They were also able to force a fumble on Minnesota's penultimate drive that gave the Lions a 26-22 lead. The Gophers rallied to get a field of their own with 5:48 left to play in the game, but that's when the offense put together a 12-play, 72-yard drive to run out the clock. That drive also featured the play of the game, as freshman tight end Luke Reynolds took a fake punt 32 yards on 4th and 1, switching the field from Penn State's 34-yard line to Minnesota's 34-yard line. Two more fourth-down conversions followed to eventually ice the game.

Can Penn State Football Pass Its Final Road Test? Minnesota Game Predictions
Respect to JAMES FRANKLIN. He let his nuts hang and if he didnt, we wouldve lost 28-25.
Great job to avoid a trap loss to a very hard nosed team on the road. We are!
PENN STATE!
Gritty win! Minnesota played the best game they had played all year. Wins like this will prepare this team for the playoffs
James made some ballsy calls in that last drive. Fake punt. 4th and 1 to win vs. settling for a field goal. Great coaching.
Sad part is that PSU fans will never give him credit. He gets hammered when team doesn't play well, but zero credit when they do.
I’ll give him credit, he played to win today. I was absolutely shocked when they faked the punt…that’s playing to win. Hats off coach!
@@michaellin5107 Because they were supposed to win this game? Since when do we give people credit for doing what they were supposed to do?
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968we are 10-1, winning is winning… enjoy the w…
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968all fucking day every day
Gritty win. I will take it.
Like the calls coach! Good win!
GO NITTANY LIONS!!! Brilliant punt fake
Another gutsy road win. Sec cultists will see this and think it sucks
Even when half their conference played identical games today. 😂
Not one question about the offense’s inability to convert 3rd and short. It’s been a problem since the OSU game.
The Warren run needs to be scrapped from the playbook. It hasn’t worked because it’s incredibly predictable.
@@justing5155he just needs to hit the hole with speed. That pause isn't it.
James needs his own fact checker. He stated first time PSU was 5-0 on the road since 1985. PSU was undefeated in 1994 and had 5 road games.
He may have meant to say 1995. The season is 94-95, so, probably what he meant to say.
Temple game was at a neutral site that year so not technically considered a road game
I always go by the yr the 12 games are played not the bowl game date.
1994 12-0
Who is giving this guys stats. First time since 1985 that PSU has been 5-0 on the road. Ummm 1994 ???
James is wrong saying the team is 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1985. While it's a nice stat that it's the first time in his tenure here, any Penn State fan knows we had an undefeated regular season in 1994...
Yes sir my friend I was 9 yrs old living just outside of Altoona pa about 25 min from state college. Every Saturday was special been hooked since 😊
Maybe we didn’t have 5 away games that year ??
@@Stormkingusa we did lol
Nope your correct 5 away games in 1994…..James misspoke
@@Stormkingusawere any of the games at a neutral site?
Hard to win explosive plays when you rarely go for them
🙄
It was a very frustrating game to watch, especially in the first half. There were many stoppages of play, and Penn State seemed to be sleepwalking. The blocked punt and blocked extra point turned into 9 points. Penn State had critical injuries. It was an ugly game. They were fortunate to get the W.
@@josephbrutico2430 Yes, you are correct.
Yea really was a 27-16 win.
That holding against 11 Carter negates first td.
PSU won that game because they scored more points than their opponent in the total duration of the game.
I disagree, I think it is because the opponent scored fewer.
I appreciate your concise summary of this afternoon's activities. Bravo!
@@ben5724Pwahahaha

Grade A analysis
Danielson says, “window dressing is great but you still have to block”. Bingo!!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
It's like being a referee.. You are only as good as your last call.. Today coach Franklin made the winning calls in a tougher than expected game!
@bluewhiteillustratedvideo thanks for your video coverage of penn state but you guys need a better microphone. Almost all of your recent press conference videos have high levels of background noise/static.
I am deeply concerned about the Penn State Defense stopping the run. Deeply concerned. Ohio State won by running the ball. Minnesota ran well too. And lost by a point. What do you think Maryland, and any other team they play after, will do?
Credit Big game James..gutsy fake punt conversion..4th qtr..final 5 minute run out..10-1 with a great chance at 11-1 in the books.
One play call might have changed that game. Not making excuses, but an in catchable ball . PI ! That’s a cheap call by the ref. I feel a no call. It changed the game. Refs ruin so many games. Penn state is a very very good team! It is what it is. Great game!
Yea just one bad call can make big diff.
For Penn State it was refs not calling holding on 11 Carter on first drive that makes it 1st and 20.. might not get first down and punt maybe still gets a fg though prob not a td.
Should been 10-6 Penn State before block punt.
So maybe those two bad calls if that’s the right call for those are even.
Prob I have with refs is they have let other team hold 11 Carter several times whole game long and that is bs.
Special teams are a worry!!!! WE ARE
Great win. Sloppy first half bit guts calls in the second.
Thank goodness for tyler warren, otherwise we have no wideouts
I feel like our Linebacker play is juz bad
I don't!!!! C. King and Rojas and Dom, and remind you we play a 4-2-5, so linebackers aren't going to shine in T. Allen defense!!! WE ARE
Franklin gonna need a wheelbarrow to carry the stones he has for the calls he made!
Why do OCs come to Penn State and die? I have an idea!
👍👍👍👍
Who is the third team with 10 wins over the last 3 years? PSU, Ohio state, and who else? Oregon had only 9 regular season wins in 2022
Georgia they won three title on last five yrs
@@rodneyzaumetzer3626 but they don't have 10 wins yet this season, which is what I think they were referring to
Lustig needs to be fired the fake punt does not excuse the rest of the game.
Press Conference number 63 of petitioning for the firing of Jimmy "I have NFL talent" Franklin.
No. Extend this man 🫡 🦁
How those petitions working out for you? Who you gonna hire to replace him?
Come on Guys they barely beat a bad team. Wtf are you people thinking. Psu is not any good
Lol besides Oregon and Ohio State, who's better than Penn State? Texas lost by two scores to Georgia, Indiana lost to Ohio State by three scores, Notre Dame lost to NIU, Alabama lost by three scores to 6-5 Oklahoma, Miami lost to 7-4 Georgia Tech, Ole Miss lost to 6-5 Florida, Georgia lost to Ole Miss by three scores, Tennessee lost to 6-5 Arkansas. Boise State and SMU are the only ones who have good resumes relative to Penn State at this point, and I'd still favor Penn State over either.
@cadeezra315 if psu played in the sec they would not have just one loss. You will see in the playoffs they will get taken behind the wood shed.
@@Dan-md3hr they'd probably have none this season. Like have you seen a game in that league?
@@cadeezra315 you keep drinking the Kool aid
Performance agaisnt top 4 bs top 4 is what matter most for who are the top teams.
That is
Oregon osu 1 pt
Penn state osu 7 pt terrible refs
Georgia Texas 30-15
Osu indiana 38-15
Everybody else lost to a bad team.
Nov 23, we
Franklin plays his usual deer-in-the-headlights character. He defies the logic that says you can make $9,000,0?0 a year for doing so little. You know, like making some adjustments at halftime. Luckiest man on earth. Isn't this guy ready to retire yet...PLEASE!
Youu should've watched the game
Who you planning to replace him with?
Psu out coached. Out played in all 3 phases of the game ( if you take the pre game predictions of the "experts") imo. We could add PJ to the list of who could replace James. 😮
Outcoached how?
PJ Fleck is 29-30 in BIG 10 play....your logic is impeccable. /sarcasm off
He out coached Fleck in the second half
Penn st is overrated
Who should be ranked over Penn State besides Oregon and Ohio State?
Actually Texas is Penn State resume is far better then Texas is.
Penn State OSU 7pts
Noerthn I’ll notre dame
See the diff
