WR Jahan Dotson and RB Noah Cain were among the main playmakers for Penn State as the former caught five passes for one TD and 102 yards and the latter punched in one rushing touchdown.

Meanwhile, Ball State had a touchdown and change to spare in a 31-21 win over the Western Illinois Leathernecks last Thursday. WR Justin Hall was the offensive standout of the matchup for Ball State, catching eight passes for two TDs and 137 yards.
