A certain running back is going to make this list. But who are the four Nittany Lions keeping him company on it? Let's take a look ...

WR Juwan Johnson. The redshirt sophomore was relatively quiet against Pittsburgh and Georgia State after a nice showing vs. Akron. But he came up big with the Iowa game hanging in the balance. Johnson caught seven passes for 92 yards and grabbed the 7-yard game-winner from Trace McSorley on the final play.

S Marcus Allen. The Lions' defense wasn't on the field very long so no one had big numbers like Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell (16 tackles, three TFLs, INT, fumble recovery).
