STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Caleb Komolafe ran for 72 yards and a late touchdown, and Northwestern held on to upset Penn State 22-21 on Saturday.

Preston Stone threw for 163 yards with a touchdown pass to Griffin Wilde, and Jack Olsen kicked three field goals for the Wildcats (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who won their third straight.

The Wildcats, who hadn’t won in Beaver Stadium since 2014, took the lead for good with 4 minutes, 51 seconds left when Komolafe bulled his way through Penn State’s defense to cap a 75-yard drive.

The Nittany Lions got the ball back but lost quarterback Drew Allar to a leg injury on a third-down play. Backup Ethan Grunkemeyer replaced him and was immediately stopped on a fourth-down run, and the Wildcats ran the clock out from there.
