Final Thoughts:
Well Penn St. got a scare, where they needed Tony Carr to get out of his funk. And he needed the extra period to find his scoring rhythm. As for the Cornhuskers, they just didn't seem like they were moving the ball as good as Penn St. 

Nebraska will play Illinois in Lincoln, NE, on Monday. Penn St. will be back in Happy Valley, to play Minnesota also on Monday.
