a to the tight end khil dinkin his first catch of the Season he was not in the west vir Bowling Green brings [Music] three Aller commits into Bowling Green territory he's cut down out of bounds by McGary but it's Fourth Down interesting so they're showing pressure here see if they they do in trouble off his back foot and he bails him out he's awfully close to the first down and it looks like he has [Applause] [Music] it from inside the 40 on first down Kon Allen thrown out of bounds by CJ Brown that's just running with your eyes right there we got first and 10 sounds like Tyler Warren could be ready Aller intercepted the end zone and a foolish decision to bring it out by jakori Benjamin what was he thinking yeah he wasn't that was the point ooh tough interception right [Music] there he didn't get enough air under he was going to the back of the end zone Fanon Jr the tight end needs a block he's got a first down for Bowling Green Finn Hogan number 11 sprung that play with a block on the edge he is having a career day right there Bas loock Hees it out of bounds incomplete fourth down felt the pressure from the from the right side it was picked up but he felt it John Henderson that punt was nearly blocked got a good roll got out of Bounds at about the 40 all goes deep incomplete looking for Harrison Wallace Jordan ol Dolan one of the defensive cat season moved to the edge this season yeah he likes to glitch from there too pass caught by Malcolm Johnson Jr first down Bowling Green excellent job by Malcolm Johnson you know the reason why is he caught the [Applause] ball caught by Fannon he needed three and I think that's all he got first down Bowling Green that's a good spot for them cuz that ball looked like he was coming back and caught the ball here Center play action that's intercepted Tony Roos incredible great pick great pick throw wasn't bad it was a little bit behind him and that's the that's the cause of the pick had he leted him a little more this is a completion stepped up see how see how was a little just a pad behind him the receiver has he has great position to throw it out in front of him and you got a [Applause] reception playing his own Aller incomplete looking for Omari Evans and they stop the clock which is good for them at [Applause] 5:15 baslac flutters one intercepted Zachy Wheatley with what could be a dagger basle just was going to throw that away should have thrown it out of bounds Wheatley does a nice job of tracking that thing down we talked to the Penn State coaching staff about weatley he's the third safety in a really good group of Kevin Winston Jr and Jaylen Reed but the coaching staff adamant Bowling Green with no timeouts and Nick single touchdown Penn State a double touchdown day for Singleton nice job with Singleton redirected 41 yds on the touchdown run for Nick Singleton and Pen stayed with his largest lead of the ball game 3424 Nick Singleton putting Penn State in the driver seat late RS of 40 yds this season and three runs total of 40 yards or more so Singleton regaining his freshman year form here's PES to start the drive for bowling Dream Out of Bounds near Midfield and he picks up a bowling dream first down I don't think he's given up a reception today on the ground with Patterson he needed the 41 and is about a yard short he's going to not scored in the second half baslac pumps throws his favorite Target Harold Fannon Jr Out of Bounds at the 30 first down Bowling Green nice play good concept they fake the short one get that back get that the uh Defender to bite and then off his back foot baslac sails it high in the direction of Malcolm Johnson too much he had it 101 to the outside which he liked but the ball sailed on him2 y try from the left half got it really good kick from clether his second field goal of the day it's a touchdown game so now they go onside kick try got to get the recovery if you put away Bowling Green and recover this onside kick in week two long puts it in play it is recovered by the linebacker Kobe King Pen State not predicted to do nearly as well in the Mac as Bowling Green for what it's [Music] worth it's a final now Penn State moves to 2 and0 James Franklin and the nany Lions knockoff Bowling Green by a touchdown to kick off the home schedule for Penn State [Music]
