The Penn State Nittany Lions closed non-conference play with a record-setting, 56-0 victory over the Kent State Golden Flashes.
Penn State coach James Franklin, seldom one to look ahead, vneeded only a few minutes Saturday to peer into the Nittany Lions' future.
Before getting there, however, Penn State needed to make some declarative statements about itself. Kent State wasn't going to be competitive even against a sloppy, disinterested team. But for the most part, the Nittany Lions were efficient and effective in winning their 22nd consecutive non-conference game.
Penn State also made certain to showcase tight end Tyler Warren, whom Franklin once again called the "best tight end in college football." Warren threw and caught touchdown passes, made a leaping one-handed grab, blocked fiercely for the backs and showcased how much of a ruthless weapon he can be. Running back Cam Wallace looked sharp before sustaining an unfortunate injury late in the fourth quarter. Receiver Omari Evans got open downfield again for 59 yards.
