A.J. Harris, Penn State’s top returning corner and a potential early-round draft pick in the spring, was beaten for a touchdown in the second quarter of the Nittany Lions’ 22-21 loss to Northwestern on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
The Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten) have now lost three games in a row following a 3-0 start to the season. Penn State was ranked No. 2 in the country as recently as the Sept. 21 US LBM Coaches Poll. However, following a loss to No. 5 Oregon, it has lost back-to-back games to unranked UCLA and Northwestern (4-2, 2-1).
Penn State hit rock bottom with another devastating loss, this time to Northwestern. Here are the postgame grades.
With just over two minutes left in the game, Drew Allar went down with a leg injury that signaled the day was over for the Nittany Lions.
