We came out in the second half and played loose.Tied at 17 through two quarters, the Nittany Lions outscored Purdue (3-5, 1-4) 24-7 in the pivotal third quarter.

It was the longest touchdown run by a Nittany Lion since Larry Johnsons 84-yarder in 2002 against Illinois.We knew we were going to have a battle, Penn State coach James Franklin said. Early in the game, we just made too many mistakes. We are usually one of the most disciplined teams in football. I dont want to say were a second-half team, but in the locker room, we decided we were a second-half team. We made plays, and their turnovers were huge.Purdue, which got two touchdown passes from David Blough, including a 62-yarder to DeAngelo Yancey, led 14-7 and 17-14 in the second quarter.McSorley finished 12 of 23 of 228 yards and the career-best three TDs.
