Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter, described as an 'exceptional player' and a 'terror' on the field, made a significant impact with a strip sack that drew comparisons to Micah Parsons' performance in the 2019 Cotton Bowl. His teammate Adisa Isaac recovered the fumble, but the play was subsequently ruled incomplete upon review. Carter was later shaken up due to an injury and required attention from the medical staff. He managed to walk off the field to the sidelines on his own and was able to return to the game, though he seemed to be hampered by the injury afterward. Meanwhile, Penn State freshman linebacker Tony Rojas also sustained an injury during the game.
