00:00Fans pulled it off Penn State ended up getting their W but it was a shaky first

00:09half they did get a touchdown in that first quarter but it was a stalemate in

00:12the second quarter and if it wasn't for them picking up a touchdown third and

00:15fourth Illinois was very much involved in this one but of course Nitty Lions

00:20defense came in physical and made sure to keep them out of any sort of

00:24contention Penn State pulls off a 21 to 7 victory but I'm telling you that first

00:28half was not looking favorable for them for the most part. It was a tough watch

00:33you know low scorer it was pretty boring hate to be that guy no disrespect to

00:38Dave Sharapan and the Nittany Lions but he knows I'm still waiting for that cap

00:42you know we'll talk about that one a little later. 21 to 7 here two ranked

00:45opponents for Penn State coming in for this one ninth in the nation Illinois

00:49the fighting Illini they're sitting at 19 so this was expected to be a close

00:55encounter in terms of the numbers that we saw for this one trying to find that

00:58total goes off at 48 and a half so the unders comes in I feel like for Penn

01:03State this is a common theme that we can expect to see of the next next four or

01:07five six weeks looking at the schedule it always seems to be that arm wrestle

01:11that low scorer 19 and a half was the the spread obviously not going to cover

01:16that number so for Illinois they put up a bit of a fight they came out they came

01:20ready to play but they just didn't have anything else up the sleeve you know it

01:24was a scoreless second quarter from both sides once we came out from the

01:28halftime break Penn State they got one into their house and ultimately that was

01:32the end of this game there so for Drew Alar he looked pretty strong no passing

01:36touchdowns we did enough to get him down the field the run game through Alan that

01:40looked really strong he gets one into their house and Nicholas Singleton he

01:44looked pretty strong there as well so 18 carries 16 carries for each running back

01:49they're obviously trying to get it done with that run game in for Illinois they

01:52just didn't show enough promise and trying to get that offense moving once

01:57they found themselves in a bit of a pickle there in the third quarter so

02:00well run to Penn State they still remain undefeated for their season and for

02:04Illinois now sitting at 4 and 1 1 and 1 in conference play
