SMU at Penn State: Live updates from College Football Playoff first-round game
- It’s ANOTHER pick-6 for Penn State! This time it’s Tony Rojas, who caught a gift of a pass from SMU’s Kevin Jennings and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown. What a nightmare start for Jennings.
- PSU 14, SMU 0
- The home team was moving the ball with ease but SMU found some defensive backbone when it was most needed, forcing a fourth-and-13 and getting the ball back after a Drew Allar pass fell incomplete.
- SMU can’t do anything with the ball on the ensuing possession and gives it back to the Nittany Lions. They’ll have it at their own 32 after a poor punt.
- Penn State has the first points of the game on a pick-6!
- SMU QB Kevin Jennings was trying to hit his running back out of the backfield and PSU’s Dominic DeLuca came down with the ball instead before returning it 23 yards for the touchdown.
- PSU 7, SMU 0
- The Mustangs made it to the red zone, but their drive fizzled out there as a fourth-down pass fell incomplete. QB Kevin Jennings could’ve easily ran it and got the first down, but he opted to throw it instead.
- Penn State will take over on downs at its own 19.
- The Ponies are past midfield already after a couple first downs and a pass interference penalty. They’re going uptempo early.
- The Nittany Lions couldn’t get anything going on their opening possession. It’s a three-and-out and a punt.
- We are underway in Happy Valley!
- Penn State will have the ball first. The Nittany Lions are 9-point favorites in this one.
