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
Franklin was right. Minnesota initially had a punt-safe defense out on the field but later switched to a traditional punt return unit. Rulli kept the fake punt on, and the Nittany Lions ran it to perfection. They fooled Minnesota — and even some of their own teammates.
The Nittany Lions convert three fourth-down plays, one on a fake punt, to seal a 26-25 win over the Golden Gophers.
