Penn State is not a team who is notorious for starting out hot, but Tuesday night in the Valley of the Sun, it was a much different start than usual.

That led to the first possession of the game for the Nittany Lions. One in which they promptly marched 72 yards in nine plays leading to this work of art from Drew Allar to Tyler Warren.

It was a nearly perfect first quarter save for a fumble for Allar, but the Broncos weren’t able to capitalize
