How Trace McSorley possessed Heisman poise in Penn State’s 63-10 rout

UNIVERSITY PARK

Trace McSorley’s head refused to drop, and his shoulders never shrugged. He refrained from putting out negative body language Saturday afternoon — even if it would have been warranted.

Penn State beat Kent State to a pulp, 63-10. In retrospect, it’s easy to say there would be no result outside of a rout. But several times on Saturday afternoon — before the bow was tied on a blowout — things went south for Penn State’s offense. And it was McSorley who brought the Nittany Lions back to their feet.

On the stat sheet, QB 1 hung 283 total yards and five touchdowns on the hapless Golden Flashes.
