Penn State vs. Minnesota score, takeaways: Fake punt, gutsy fourth-down calls save Nittany Lions from upset
No. 4 Penn State survived a major upset attempt by Minnesota, 26-25, to stay alive in the College Football Playoff race. On the game's final drive, Penn State coach James Franklin made gutsy fourth-down calls to allow the Nittany Lions to run out the clock and escape with a win.
Inside Penn State’s fake punt vs. Minnesota and the walk-on who made it happen
