Penn State has not looked good on Saturday.

The sixth-ranked team in the country and Northwestern are tied at 10 heading into the second half. In fact, Penn State was down for most of the first half before scoring the game-tying touchdown just before the half.

Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar only completed 50% of his passes (8-of-16) for 91 yards in the first half. Treyson Potts had the lone touchdown.

For the Wildcats, quarterback Ben Bryant completed 8-of-12 passes for 69 yards. Bryant was also the one to score their lone touchdown, though it came on the ground. 

Their passing game will need to improve in the second half if they want to pull off the upset.

As for the Nittany Lions, they need to be better in all phases if they want to avoid being upset.

You can watch the second half on Big Ten Network.
