I forgot how much I absolutely DESPISE targeting.
The sideline referee doesn’t even blow his whistle to signal incomplete before Abdul Carter makes the hit. And now he’s out of his first ever game at Penn State.
Targeting is the worst rule in sports. pic.twitter.com/6LmioWURvs

Amor punt fair caught at Purdue 9. 52 yards. Averaging 45 yards through two punts.
Singleton ran the ball five times in that last possession, gaining 21 yards.

Joey Porter Jr. will have nightmares about that play if Penn State loses. Could have been an easy pick-six. Instead, Boilers are driving.

Mitchell Tinsley with his first touchdown for Penn State. Don’t sleep on the former Western Kentucky WR emerging as one of the top pass catchers in the nation this fall…

Sean Clifford pushed across the end zone by his teammates, and he's in from two yards out. Penn State takes advantage of Purdue mistakes again to cash in.@PennStateFball 14@BoilerFootball 10

That hit on Clifford was more egregious than one Carter made.
