[Photo Story] Penn State vs. Washington
Gone west.
After the first Big Ten win of the season against Purdue, Penn State football traveled to its farthest game of the season to take on the Washington Huskies at Husky Stadium for the first time in more than 100 years.
In a game that came down to the final minutes, the Nittany Lions secured their first road win of the season since defeating Temple on September 12.
As always, our photographers captured all the action of Matt Campbell’s first Big Ten road win.
The greatest setting in college sports.
Now this is a little different tailgating than the Beaver Stadium lots.
The Nittany Lions arrived ready to get to work.
Penn State, decked out in its road whites, took the field for warm-ups.
The clock struck 3:30 p.m., 12:30 p.m. on the West Coast, and it was game time.
The Huskies scored a field goal on their opening drive, but running back Carson Hansen quickly put the Nittany Lions ahead with a first-quarter touchdown.
Wideout Zay Robinson was the next Nittany Lion to put points on the board.
It was raining touchdowns in the first half. Wide receiver Chase Sowell was next to score for the Nittany Lions, extending the lead to 21-3 early in the second quarter.
The defense held Washington to just six points in the first half.
46 YARDS TO THE HOUSE.
Running back Cam Wallace scored on a 46-yard run, putting the Nittany Lions up 28-6 going into halftime.
No matter where you go, Penn State fans will follow.
HI DUBS!
The Nittany Lions couldn’t get the ball moving offensively in the second half.
The Huskies clawed their way back, cutting the deficit to 28-25 with more than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter.
However, in a game that started to look eerily close to the outcome against Wisconsin, the Nittany Lions held on.
The Nittany Lions pulled out their first Big Ten road win, defeating the Huskies 28-25.
The Nittany Lions certainly rained on the Huskies’ parade.
The Nittany Lions are headed back to Beaver Stadium this Saturday to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers at 7 p.m.
