College Football Playoff: No. 6 Penn State moves on to semifinals with 31-14 Fiesta Bowl win over No. 3 Boise State

Penn State is a win away from the national title game.

The No. 6 Nittany Lions jumped out to a 14-0 lead and held on for a 31-14 win over No. 3 Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. Penn State dominated Boise State in the first quarter, but a fumble on a bad handoff gave Boise State life and the Nittany Lions had a hard time shaking the Broncos the rest of the way.

Heck, you can even make an argument that Boise State lost opportunities to win the game more than Penn State put the Broncos away for much of the second half.
