Tyler Warren is really good at football, and whoever wasn’t sure of that found out during Penn State football’s 42-10 win at Purdue Saturday afternoon.

The tight end caught eight passes for 127 yards and a touchdown and ran the ball three times for 63 yards— 48 coming on a touchdown run— and Penn State cruised.

THE FIRST HALF

Penn State wasted no time on its first drive, going down the field 75 yards and nine plays and scoring on a 1-yard pass from Drew Allar to Kaytron Allen.

Penn State kept it going on its next possession, turning a 2nd and 12 from its own 5-yard line into a touchdown.

Allar threw his second TD pass, hitting Tyler Warren for a 15-yard score. 

It stayed 14-0 through the end of the first quarter. Penn State out-gained Purdue 178-16 in those first 15 minutes.

Purdue’s offense showed life on its next possession, driving down to the Penn State 5. But the drive stalled and Purdue had to schedule for a field goal, making it 14-3.

Penn State didn’t take long to make it 21-3. A wild double-pass that featured Allar and Warren led to a 38-yard gain, and one play later, Nicholas Singleton ran in for a 10-yard score. That’s how the score stayed at halftime.

THE SECOND HALF

In the second half, Warren’s 48-yard run essentially put the game to bed.

A 46-yard pass from Allar to Harrison Wallace III and a 49-yard run by backup QB Beau Pribula made it 42-3, Penn State. The final score ended up being 49-10, with true freshman TE Luke Reynolds’ first college TE being the icing on the cake.

Penn State will look to keep it going next Saturday at Minnesota. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 on CBS.

Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson are also scheduled to be on the call, as they were for Penn State-Purdue.
