STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Tyler Warren caught eight passes for 75 yards and ran for two touchdowns as No. 6 Penn State pulled away from Washington 35-6 on Saturday night.
Playing in front of a glowing White Out crowd, the Nittany Lions (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) scored on their first four possessions to put the game out of reach and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
Beau Pribula opened the scoring with an 8-yard touchdown run before Warren turned direct snaps into 2-yard touchdown runs on each of Penn State’s next two possessions. Quarterback Drew Allar found Julian Fleming for an 8-yard touchdown pass that made it 28-0 with 23 seconds to play in the first half.
The Huskies (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) couldn’t finish when they had chances.
They drove into Penn State territory on their first possession but kicker Grady Gross hit the right upright on a 45-yard field goal try. They punted on two of their next three possessions and Penn State safety Jaylen Reed ended another with an interception at midfield midway through the second quarter.
Washington finally capitalized when Warren fumbled on Penn State’s second play of the third quarter. Demond Williams Jr. took over at quarterback for the Huskies and Gross hit a 24-yard field goal eight plays later.
Gross added a 35-yarder on Washington’s next possession, but Penn State running back Kaytron Allen finished a 16-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to cap the scoring.
