Penn State Nittany Lions survived a furious second-half comeback attempt by the Washington Huskies to secure a 28-25 victory at Husky Stadium in Seattle on Saturday night.
The Huskies, trailing by a significant margin at halftime, mounted a spirited rally in the final two quarters but ultimately fell three points short as the Nittany Lions held on for the road win in front of a packed crowd at the historic venue.
Washington kicker Tyler Robles connected on a field goal during the second-half surge, briefly bringing the home crowd to life as the Huskies pushed to erase the deficit. However, Penn State's defense stiffened in the closing minutes, preserving the narrow victory for the visitors.
The loss drops Washington in what has been a challenging season, while Penn State adds another quality win to its resume as the college football season enters its critical November stretch.
