After suffering its first loss of the season, Penn State got back on track Saturday night in its annual White Out game, defeating Washington 35-6. Unlike many of this year’s games, the Nittany Lions had no issues getting off to a strong start offensively,

Corey Smith made his Penn State debut in the fourth quarter and gained 95 yards on only five carries. Penn State coach James Franklin, speaking at his weekly Monday news conference, was clearly excited about Smith’s play and praised the 5-10, 189-pounder of his development this season.

I think this week’s point of emphasis was just, not redeeming ourselves, but making a statement ... and today we did.”
