Day game (mostly cloudy with scattered showers, 49°) (66,016, seventh largest).

Even a dreary Halloween rain can't squelch the Cougars, who put together the most balanced attack of the season against the nationally ranked Nittany Lions.

Penn State scores just once in the first half off a 39-yard field goal.

BYU scores four touchdowns, one off an 80-yard pass from Ryan Hancock to Tyler Anderson.

Hancock and Anderson are honored nationally by AT&T for the longest play of the week.

After intercepting BYU, Penn State has a chance to score in the final 20 seconds of the second quarter. The Cougar defense stands its ground on fourth-and-seven and BYU leads 27-3 at halftime.

BYU puts its final points on the board with a 27-yard field goal by David Lauder in the third quarter and Penn State scores two touchdowns in the final seven minutes.

The outstanding secondary play of Patrick Mitchell, Vic Tarleton and Derwin Gray holds All-America receiver O.J. McDuffie to just 58 receiving yards.

Mitchell breaks up two sure touchdown receptions in the end zone and linebackers Todd Herget and Shad Hansen each record 14 tackles.

BYU is now 5-4.
