Penn State bounces back against Northwestern
By Tommy Phillips
st,ill writer
The Penn State Nittany Lions rebounded from
their loss to Ohio State with a 33-7 win over the
Northwestern Wildcats at Beaver Stadium last
Saturday. The Nittany Lions were dominant on
defense, allowing only 238 total yards to the
Wildcats. Penn State outgained Northwestern by
nearly 300 yards, which contributed as to why they
were able to win in such a lopsided fashion.
After struggling against Ohio State in the passing
game. Penn State quarterback Anthony Morelli
turned in a great performance against the Wildcats,
throwing for 288 yards with several long comple
tions. Receiver Deon Butler was on the other end of
most of those completions, catching 11 passes for a
Penn State-record of 216 yards. Butler broke the
mark for most receiving yards in a game set by for
mer Penn State receiver O.J. McDuffie in 1992,
which was 212 yards.
In the first half, Penn State struggled while inside
the Northwestern 20-yard line. Running back Tony
Hunt fumbled away the ball on Penn State’s first
possession. The Nittany Lions held on to the ball on
their next three trips deep into Northwestern terri
tory, but they were unable to convert on third down
each time, settling for three field goals by kicker
Kevin Kelly.
