The field goal. and a last minute touchdown. put Penn State in front, Is to 7. It was a courageous comeback for a State team upon whom it appeared the roof might have fallen in the third quarter. The story of Penn States bad luck in the third period started with a Nebraska punt. Jim Pollard fielded that punt on his own Is and made dazzling 75-yard run for what appeared to be States second touchdown. But State had been offside on the play.
