Penn State maintained an undefeated record with a challenging win in West Lafayette against Purdue. In a game where the Lions really struggled to get the running game and short passing game going, two explosive passing plays gave them just enough offense to supplement the defense. Anytime you're facing a Drew Brees offense, you'll give up yardage and points, but in this game, the two first-team all-americans came up with montrous plays to put touchdowns on the board from the defensive side of the ball. Between Arrington, Brown and Brees, this game certainly had star power.
