Regrouping from the sack, Mendoza threw a strike over the middle to Cooper for 22 yards, then spiked the ball to stop the clock. He fired a bullet outside to E.J. Williams Jr. He took a deep shot to Cooper that was incomplete, then came back with a rifle down the seam to tight end Riley Nowakowski for 29 yards.

At that point, the chances of a winning score began to seem real. Wideout Charlie Becker, a backup who was seeing playing time due to the injury to standout Elijah Sarratt, made a leaping, foot-down grab at the Penn State 7.

After that, the Nittany Lions ordered up all-out blitzes, bodies flying at Mendoza. He was fortunate to even unload the ball for a pair of incompletions to bring up third-and-goal.
