STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Before he could escape a soggy Heinz Field and finally get out from under a steady downpour, Penn State running back Miles Sanders was stopped for an on-field interview.
After No. 11 Penn State's 51-6 win over Pittsburgh, Sanders was quick and to the point -- he thanked his offensive line.
As they had in the opening week, the five players in front of Sanders opened holes and blocked downfield. This time they stomped through mud and over Panthers for him and Sanders tipped them by averaging 7.4 yards per carry.
