Another Saturday, another day full of college football upsets.
One of the biggest ones may have come courtesy of Northwestern football. The Wildcats upended No. 22 Penn State 22-21 at Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Oct. 11.
The Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten) have now lost three games in a row following a 3-0 start to the season. Penn State was ranked No. 2 in the country as recently as the Sept. 21 US LBM Coaches Poll. However, following a loss to No. 5 Oregon, it has lost back-to-back games to unranked UCLA and Northwestern (4-2, 2-1).
The Wildcats scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 9-yard run by Caleb Komolafe with 4:51 remaining in the game. Penn State turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing possession, which also saw its quarterback, Drew Allar, go down with an injury.
Allar completed 13 of 20 passes for 137 yards and an interception in the loss. Northwestern has now won three in a row following a 1-2 start to the season.
