UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State put up a record-setting 718 yards of total offense and 56 points against Kent State Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium.
Eight different Penn State players scored. Some had their first touchdowns, others scored one of many, but they surely put on a good show in front of a home crowd of over 109,000 fans.
The first score was a 16-yard touchdown pass from Drew Allar to Tyler Warren.

It was running back Cam Wallace who’d find the end zone next, this score a run from just a yard out.
