Penn State tight end Tyler Warren delivered an extraordinary performance against USC, setting multiple records. Warren finished with 17 receptions, tying the FBS record for catches in a game by a tight end, and amassed 224 receiving yards, the second most in Penn State history. He also contributed a touchdown, a 9-yard pass completion, and a 4-yard rush. Warren's efforts were pivotal in Penn State's 33-30 overtime victory over USC, where the Nittany Lions rallied from a two-touchdown deficit. The game saw Penn State outscoring USC 27-10 in the second half, accumulating 314 total yards of offense to USC's 161. Warren broke Dalton Kincaid’s single-game record for most catches by an opposing player against USC and DaeSean Hamilton's program record for receptions. The win was marked by a controversial moment when Penn State players attempted to plant their flag at USC's midfield, which head coach James Franklin prevented.
