Former walk-on DeLuca provides early spark, Penn State drills SMU 38-10 in CFP; Boise State up next
Associated PressSTATE COLLEGE, Pa. — In a time of incessant change, Penn State linebacker Dominic DeLuca is a throwback. Linebacker Tony Rojas added a pick-6 of his own and Penn State shut down Kevin Jennings and the high-powered Mustangs, whose breakout season ended amid a flurry of mistakes and miscues and did little to shed the notion — particularly by those in Alabama — that the ACC runners-up didn’t necessarily deserve a spot in the 12-team field in the first place. We got beat soundly by a very good team.” Two weeks after getting pushed around by Oregon in the Big Ten title game, Penn State responded by forcing three turnovers and collecting three sacks while holding the Mustangs to season lows in points and yards. Kaytron Allen ran for two scores and Nick Singleton added another for the Nittany Lions, a bruising 1-yard gash late in the first half that put Penn State up 28-0. Penn State: Will try to win a 13th game for the first time in the program’s 131-year history when it heads to the Fiesta Bowl, a game in which the Nittany Lions are 7-0 all-time.
