Quarterback: McSorley - 24 for 26, 325 yards passing, 3 TDs, 0 INTs. Also had 46 yards rushing and a score. I think you can make a case that it was his best game of the season, especially considering the conditions.

Running Back: Barkley - 158 yards rushing, 3 TDs. Also 66 yards receiving on six receptions.

Wide Receiver/Tight End:

Gesicki - 47 yards on four receptions and two scores.
Johnson - 105 yards on five receptions
Hamilton - 42 yards on four receptions

Offensive Line: Led an offense that totaled more than 400 yards of offense in first half.

Defensive Line: Not a ton of pressure, but Chavis and Givens both had sacks. Also, played a role in forcing six straight three-and-outs.

Linebacker: Brandon Smith had 11 tackles, Cabinda had seven tackles and assisted on a sack. Played very conservative in the second half, but that was by design. Bend, don't break.

Defensive Backs: DBs held Tanner Lee to just 72 yards passing in the first half. Played very conservative in second half, but the was probably part of the game plan. Still, should've played better in second half.

Special Teams: Not the best day for Gillikin. Also, punt return unit made a mistake in 1st Qtr.

Coaching: PSU dominated on both sides of the ball. Hard to find many faults.
