STATE COLLEGE — Drew Allar threw for 209 yards and a touchdown, and No. 2 Penn State got another near flawless effort from its defense in a 52-6 win over Villanova on Saturday.

Nicholas Singleton ran for two touchdowns, Kaytron Allen added another, Trebor Peña caught a touchdown and Ryan Barker kicked three field goals.

Linebacker Tony Rojas had two sacks for the Nittany Lions (3-0), who came one play shy of posting back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1996.

Penn State scored two first-half touchdowns against FCS Villanova, got a pair field goals from Barker and punted twice despite outgaining Villanova 252-69.

“I think we make it harder than it needs to be at times,” Penn State coach James Franklin said.
