No. 6 seed Penn State became the first team to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals with a 31-14 win against No. 3 seed Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday night. The Nittany Lions will meet the winner of Wednesday night’s Notre Dame vs. Georgia game on Jan. 9 in the Orange Bowl with a spot in the national championship on the line.
In a game filled with miscues on both sides, Penn State got more big plays from its All-American, tight end Tyler Warren, than Boise State got from Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty.
