Penn St. Holds On For Win Over Washington

SEATTLE (AP) — Penn State’s offense didn’t score in the second half, but it did something even more valuable when it mattered most. After a Washington touchdown turned what had been a 22-point halftime advantage into a three-point lead, the Nittany Lions held onto the ball for the final 7:40 of gametime, seeing out a 28-25 win with a 14-play, 70-yard drive. Rocco Becht went 16-for-27 for 240 yards and threw first-half touchdowns to Chase Sowell and Zay Robinson, both of whom were listed as questionable on the pregame injury report but ended up being good to play. But his biggest play of the night may well have been a 2-yard sneak on fourth-and-1 to the UW 1-yard on the first play after the two-minute timeout, which allowed the Nittany Lions (5-4, 2-4 Big Ten) to kneel the rest of the clock out.
