Penn State’s all-time best single-game rushing performances entering 2022
Penn State has always prides itself on two things; defense and running the football. The running game has been lacking as of late but with new high-ranking recruit Nick Singleton on campus there is much-needed renewed optimism.
No one is expecting record-breaking performances from Singleton anytime soon but the potential he has is limitless. Over the years there have been several names that are recognizable across the landscape of the sport who have played for Penn State. On top of that, there are Pro Football Hall of Famers who have Penn State as their alma mater.
For now, Nick Singleton will be looking to excel on a week-by-week basis but let’s say he has a big week. How big a week does he need to have in order to make this list of all-time single-game rushing records? See for yourself.
