University Park— Penn State dominated Illinois everywhere but the scoreboard Saturday night.
Despite out gaining Illinois by 145 yards, Penn State didn’t put it away until a Kaytron Allen touchdown with a little more than two minutes left made it 20-7.
The extra point made it 21, and that was the final score.
But there was still plenty to clean up, namely in the kicking game. Sander Sahaydak missed two 40-yard field goals, making that three in four games.
Here’s how the people of social media reacted to Penn State’s win over Illinois.
Big energy….but not big kick energy!

We’ve got so much to clean up on both sides if we’re gonna be an elite team

The D is nasty. Abdul Carter is Micah Parsons 2.0. Now go poach someone from the soccer team to be the kicker.

Penn State TE Tyler Warren easily one of my favorite players to watch right now. They'll line him up at every single position in the offense, even QB, and he thrives at them all.
Complete football player.

Penn State head coach James Franklin with a HEATED exchange with the officials on the way to the locker room at halftime.
Said “___ calls I’ve ever seen” didn’t catch the first word.

Penn State is going to do whatever it can to keep finding ways to use Tyler Warren. What a weapon.
