Penn State (11-20 went of for 53 points and over 500 yards of offense against a pretty good Memphis (12-2) team. Journey Brown (Meadville, PA) had 202 yards on just 16 carries and he added two touchdowns to his work day. Jahan Dotson (Nazareth, PA) had a receiving touchdown. Noah Cain (Baton Rouge, LA) had 2 rushing touchdowns and Devyn Ford (Stafford, VA) added one. For Memphis Damonte Coxie (Reserve, LA) had 132 yards on 8 catches.

I watched some of the game. It was anyone's game until the interception for a TD by Penn State.

Memphis moved the ball well against PSU...almost 600 yds. ofoffense but had trouble finishing off drives. UM didn’t embarrass themselves considering they lost their head coach and both coordinators and other coaches since season end, AND they were missing three starters, the TE, best DB...both to injury, and the starting left o-tackle who left the team for some reason. I didn’t go into the game thinking UM would be able to stop the PSU run game...just hoped they might limit the big plays. I agree that sack-interception was a killer, but so was the one on the PSU goal line where UM could have made it a one score game.

 

UM’s placekicker is money. The punter had a bad day though which led to favorable field position for PSU.
