Penn State is one step closer to reaching the College Football Playoff championship game.
The No. 6 Nittany Lions downed No. 3 Boise State 31-14 in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday, punching a ticket to the Orange Bowl and the CFP semifinal.
Penn State seemed to be on its way to a dominant win after taking a 14-0 lead on its first two drives, but the Broncos didn't go down without a fight. They found the end zone in the second quarter to make it a seven-point game before the Nittany Lions hit a field goal right before halftime.
