About This Game
Northwestern and Penn State traded blows throughout Saturday's contest in State College, with neither team able to pull away decisively. The Wildcats struck first with Jack Olsen's 27-yard field goal, but Penn State quickly countered with touchdown runs from Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton to seize momentum. Northwestern answered back: Preston Stone's 29-yard touchdown pass to Griffin Wilde and Olsen's pair of field goals kept them in the fight as the second quarter closed with both teams separated by just a single point.
The fourth quarter became a possession-by-possession battle. Olsen extended Northwestern's lead with a 41-yard field goal, but Drew Allar's one-yard scoring run put Penn State ahead 21-16—seemingly setting the stage for a Penn State victory. Then, with 4:51 remaining, Caleb Komolafe punched through the Nittany Lion defense on a 9-yard run for the go-ahead touchdown. The failed two-point conversion left Northwestern clinging to a 22-21 lead, but it proved just enough as Penn State couldn't mount a final scoring drive. The Wildcats held on for their third straight win and their first victory at Beaver Stadium since 2014—a resilient road triumph captured in stunning detail on a custom Gameprint.
Game highlights: Preston Stone 29-yard TD pass to Griffin Wilde, Caleb Komolafe's game-winning TD run, Jack Olsen's three field goals, Northwestern's first Beaver Stadium victory since 2014
