Collin Wagner kicked a 21-yard field goal with 57 seconds left, and the No. 11 Nittany Lions staved off a last-ditch drive by No. 13 LSU in a 19-17 victory.
Penn State gave up a 13-point, second-half lead after Stevan Ridley’s 1-yard touchdown run put LSU ahead 17-16 with 12:49 left. But quarterback Daryll Clark led the Nittany Lions on the game-winning, 12-play drive. Penn State had two critical third-down conversions to help set up Wagner’s game-winner, one of four field goals on the day for junior kicker.
This game will be remembered as much for the messy beginning as the dramatic finish.
A driving rainstorm at the start of the game made parts of the field look like a mosh pit. Conditions were so bad for both offenses early on that the teams combined for 15 punts.
