Week 7 of the college football season has concluded. It featured three highly anticipated ranked matchups and other significant games that played big roles in several conference races.
In one of the games, the No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions traveled to play the USC Trojans. The Trojans started strong and took a 20-6 lead at halftime. However, the Nittany Lions dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Trojans 14-3 and narrowing the lead to 23-20. In the fourth quarter, both teams exchanged blows before Penn State tied the game 30-30 with 2:53 left, thanks to a 14-yard pass from Drew Allar to Nicholas Singleton.
During the game, USC missed a 45-yard field goal in overtime, while Penn State made a 36-yard field goal to win 33-30. This victory prompted ESPN’s Paul Finebaum to declare on “The Matt Barrie Show” that Penn State had the most significant win of the weekend.
“If I had any takeaway from yesterday (Saturday), that was maybe the most significant win,” Finebaum said . “Penn State did something they don’t normally do: win a big game.
