Nittany Lions Cruise Past Villanova with Singleton and Allar Leading the Way

Penn State's Nittany Lions defeated Villanova 52-6 at Beaver Stadium on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
The game followed Penn State's dominant starts in the season, though the team struggled with offensive consistency in earlier games.
Key performances included Nick Singleton rushing for two touchdowns, Drew Allar passing for 209 yards and a touchdown, and Ryan Barker kicking three field goals.
Penn State's defense limited Villanova to 179 total yards, forced interceptions including a pick-six by freshman Jahmir Joseph, while Villanova only scored on a last-second touchdown.
The win improved Penn State's record to 3-0 and gave them two weeks to prepare for their Big Ten opener against Oregon on September 27.
