The No. 4-ranked Nittany Lions smoked Purdue, 49-10, for their largest margin of victory over the Boilermakers in 21 meetings. Penn State is now 9-1 overall and 6-1 in Big Ten play with two games to go until a possible College Football Playoff berth.

Warren finished with 190 all-purpose yards, caught eight passes and scored two touchdowns as No. 4 Penn State routed Purdue 49-10 at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday. The Nittany Lions (9-1) removed their starting offense late in the third quarter but continued scoring points with the College Football Playoff committee in mind.

OK, Tyler William Warren did not bang the Purdue marching band’s Big Bass Drum at halftime of fourth-ranked Penn State’s 49-10 win over the Boilermakers here in Ross-Ade Stadium. But he could have. Really.
