Penn State Bounces Back, Downs Illinois 35-17

Penn State 35, Illinois 17.  All week long the emphasis for the Penn State Nittany Lions has been running the football. That work seemingly paid off.

Both Evan Royster and Stephon Green rushed for more than 100 yards and Darryl Clark added two rushing touchdowns as the Nittany Lions bounced back from last week's disappointing loss to Iowa.

The Illini, needing a bounce back of their own, did move the ball more effectively this week. Juice Williams had 263 yards through the air and ran for a touchdown and Arellius Benn had 96 yards receiving.
