On Saturday afternoon the Penn State Nittany Lions finished off their 2019 season with a 53-39 victory over the Memphis Tigers in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. With the win, the Nittany Lions capped off their third 11 win season in four years. It was also their second New Year’s Six victory in that four year stretch.
Leading the way for the Nittany Lion offense that scored a program bowl record 53 points was redshirt sophomore running back Journey Brown. On his way to being named the game’s offensive MVP Brown put together one of the best bowl performances in program history rushing for 202 yards and a pair of scores.
