Teammate Kaytron Allen rushed 20 times for 98 yards and a score.The Nittany Lions had a 486-193 edge in total offense.The normally staid Penn State offense came up with some intriguing plays in taking a 28-0 halftime lead.Backup quarterback Beau Pribula came off the bench and scored on an 8-yard run around the left end to open the scoring with 3:48 left in the first quarter. That capped a nine-play, 72-yard drive after Washington’s Grady Gross hit the upright on a 45-yard field goal attempt.Facing third-and-goal from the UW 2-yard line with 9:23 remaining in the second, Warren — a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award as college football’s most versatile player — lined up as the quarterback in a Wildcat formation. Warren took the snap and vaulted into the end zone to make it 14-0.With 3:23 left in the quarter, Penn State faced the same situation — third-and-goal from the 2 — and again used Warren in the Wildcat formation. This time he muscled his way over the goal line behind the left tackle.Allar then threw an 8-yard scoring strike to Julian Fleming with 23 seconds left in the half.
