STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- True freshman Rob Bolden threw for 239 yards and two
touchdowns, Chaz Powell had a 100-yard kickoff return for a score and No. 19
Penn State brushed off a sluggish start Saturday to beat Youngstown State 44-14.
Coach Joe Paterno got his 395th career victory by starting a true freshman at
quarterback in a season opener for the first time in his 45 years as head coach.
Brett Brackett caught two touchdowns for the Nittany Lions (1-0).
Youngstown State (0-1) took a 7-6 lead in the first half on Dominique Barnes'
80-yard TD reception, but the Nittany Lions' defense stiffened from there while
Bolden took control on offense.
Bolden hit Brackett for touchdown passes in the second and third quarters, the
latter giving Penn State a 30-7 lead.
The Penguins lost in Eric Wolford's debut as head coach.
