Penn State Beats Minnesota 42-14 as Hansen Exits Injured

Penn State running back Carson Hansen left Saturday’s 42-14 win over Minnesota late in the first half with a lower-body injury and did not return. Before exiting, he rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, including a 46-yard scoring run. Coach Matt Campbell said he did not believe the injury was significant, though Hansen’s availability for next week would become clearer early in the week. The performance extended Hansen’s strong late-season stretch, with 341 rushing yards over his last three games.
