Christian Veilleux used the biggest opportunity of his young college career to make up for a lost time on Saturday. Penn State's freshman quarterback, who was out of football a year ago when his high school canceled the season due to the coronavirus pand emic, stepped in for an ailing Sean Clifford and shook off the rust. Veilleux sparked what had been a lifeless Penn State offense with three touchdowns in a 28-0 win over Rutgers on Saturday. Veilleux was not available for comment after the game as Penn State does not allow freshmen to speak to reporters. "We faced as much adversity in this game as I've been around," Penn State coach James Franklin said. Jahan Dotson, Parker Washington and Malick Meiga caught touchdown passes and Keyvone Lee ran for a s core for the Nittany Lions who snapped a two-game skid at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions (7-4, 4-4 Big Ten) did so with 35 players battling flu-like symptoms through the week and up to kickoff. Clifford, who left the game midway through the fir st quarter, was among them. The three-year starter missed warm-ups as he was receiving fluids in the locker room. Afterward, Clifford told Franklin he felt like he could play. It didn't last. Clifford was just 2-for-8 passing with 23 yards before he retu rned to the locker room for more treatment. Although he had never played a collegiate down and took a while to find his rhythm, Veilleux settled in and the rest of Penn State's offense did enough in the second half to beat the Scarlet Knights (5-6, 2-6) for the 15th straight time. - Penn State/AP College Football

Georgia State's Darren Grainger had the homecoming he'd dreamed about all season. Grainger threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns only a few miles where he grew up as Georgia State won its first-ever game over a ranked opponent, defeating No. 22 Coastal Carolina 42-40 on Saturday. Nose tackle Thomas Gore wrapped up Coastal's Shermari Jones short of the goal line on a two-point conversion with just over a minute left to secure the win. "I had so much faith in my defense, I knew they'd get a big stop," Gr ainger said of those heart-stopping final moments. Grainger played in rec leagues in Conway and then at Conway High, only a short distance from the Coastal Carolina campus. He knew his family and friends would turn out and wanted to put on a show. Severa l fans wore blue T-shirts with Grainger's name and No. 3. By the end, Grainger's edginess turned to joy. "It feels good to be home," Grainger said. "It feels good to get a win over a ranked opponent." The Panthers (5-5, 3-3 Sun Belt Conference) had been 0-11 all-time against Top 25 teams and had lost all three times it had faced ranked opponents this season. The Panthers rallied in the fourth quarter to end that run of failure. "It takes 60 minutes and tonight it took every second of that," Georgia Stat e coach Shawn Elliott said. Grainger threw a go-ahead touchdown and Tucker Gregg added his third scoring run after Georgia State blew a 28-16 lead in the second half to go up 42-34. - Georgia State/AP College Football
