Penn State had every reason to be panicked as it sat in the cramped visitors locker room at halftime in the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. Just about everything that could have gone wrong for No. 4 Penn State did during Saturday’s first half.

In the extra period, Abdul Carter and Dani Dennis-Sutton — Penn State’s projected first-round pick defensive ends — did their thing. Dennis-Sutton had a second-down TFL, Carter pressured Moss into a third-down incompletion, and USC kicker Michael Lantz missed from 45 yards.

Penn State's beloved Nittany has gotten a logo makeover and a new signature to go with the new look. Penn State unveiled its 2024 version of its beloved mascot this week to modernize the iconic 120-year-old Nittany Lion.
