WATCH: Backup QB puts Penn State on the board with TD catch
Published:
So many weapons.
We all know that Saquon Barkley and Trace McSorley are the two best offensive players on Penn State’s roster, but those aren’t the only guys capable of hurting a defense. There are plenty of receivers, including backup quarterback Tommy Stevens, who can cause some damage, too.
Wait, what?
Strange as it might sound, Stevens was actually a secret weapon for the Nittany Lions on the first drive of the game. With Penn State in the red zone, McSorley fired a pass to the backup quarterback, who then made his way through the Georgia State defense for the first touchdown of the game.

Is there a team more dangerous offensively than Penn State?
Defenses seriously have to account for everyone wearing a blue jersey on Saturday afternoons.
The catch was the third of the year for Stevens, who now has 18 yards and a touchdown as a receiver. He’s also accounted for one rushing touchdown this season.
