Former Nittany Lion scores the first points of Super Bowl LIV
The first points of the Super Bowl came thanks to a former B1G kicker.
San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould was the first to account for any points in Super Bowl LIV, knocking down a 38-yard field goal to give his team an early 3-0 lead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gould was at Penn State from 2001-04.
