They scored 28 of their 38 points in the 4th quarter. Their first quarter TD was scored on special teams. It doesn't feel like it but the defense gave up 3 points over the first 3 quarters.
We've seen these late game defensive breakdowns before... for whatever reason. It also usually involves the opposing quarterback playing the game of his life (Darnold, Barrett, Tanner Lee). We'll see if the App St quarterback can make those sideline throws the rest of the season.
PSU has nothing to gain in a game like this. It was App St's superbowl. Aside from some penalties they played pretty flawless. Our defense will be fine.
