As expected, Penn State football blasted past Delaware on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions used 19 carries from Kaytron Allen and three touchdowns from Nick Singleton to power their way to a blowout victory. In a flip of last week, quarterback Drew Allar played a support role to the running game.

Penn State running game leads the way
Thanks to the style of play from the Delaware defense, Penn State's running game led the way on Saturday. Penn State's top two runners of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen had 31 combined carries, 150 yards and four touchdowns to lead the offense. Overall, the Penn State offense rushed for nearly 300 yards on the day, with Trey Potts and Beau Pribula getting plenty of action in the third and fourth quarters.
Allar was efficient on the day, completing 22 of 29 passes for 204 yards and one rushing touchdown from the goal line. Allar was patient on the day but didn't hit many explosive passing plays, with a long of 26 yards.
Defense is almost lights out
The Penn State defense dominated almost every drive, the way you'd expect with a matchup like this against an FCS opponent. The defense had five three-and-outs before the middle of the fourth quarter when the backups entered the game. An offsides on a punt extended one other drive.
KJ Winston turned up the heat just after halftime when he picked up a forced fumble caused by fellow safety Keaton Ellis. Later, backup linebacker Dom DeLuca intercepted a pass for a touchdown to put a fine point on his day. DeLuca had a near interception several drives earlier in the third quarter.
What's next?
Penn State faces Illinois on next Saturday for its second noon kick. Illinois lost to Kansas 34-23 on Thursday night. It's the Big Ten opener for the Nittany Lions, who have opened Big Ten play on the road once again. Do you want to discuss today's game or the upcoming game?
