Penn State Routes Minnesota 42-14

Penn State routed Minnesota 42-14 at Beaver Stadium, earning bowl eligibility with its third consecutive win. The Nittany Lions led 28-0 at halftime and extended the lead to 35-0 before Minnesota scored twice; backup quarterback Alex Manske added a late touchdown to cap the scoring. Rocco Becht threw three touchdown passes, and Carson Hansen rushed for 126 yards before leaving with an apparent injury. Minnesota’s trip to State College was delayed by a nationwide flight shutdown, and the loss was the Gophers’ third straight.
