The sophomore from Germany gave the Nittany Lions a huge victory with 0:42 left in double overtime on a scorching Sunday afternoon at Jeffrey Field.

After opening conference play with a victory over No. 19 Iowa, No. 2 Penn State (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) took its first loss of the season 2-0 against No. 6 Delaware at Spooky Nook in Lancaster, PA.

After clobbering Georgia State 56-0 to finish off non-conference play, Penn State slid back up one spot in the AP Poll to No. 4.

Penn State's young talent was on display against Georgia State, but it wasn't all for show. These players gained meaningful game reps ahead of Big Ten conference play.

The Nittany Lions are aware of their stature in the grand scheme of college football at the moment, but that is not the focus as tougher challenges are ahead in Big Ten play.
