STATE COLLEGE – Penn State football coach James Franklin met with Nick Singleton last Sunday, telling him that he was thinking too much instead of “letting it rip.”
Singleton took his coach’s advice and rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the Nittany Lions’ 52-6 win over Villanova Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
“I was trusting my instincts,” he said, “and not thinking too much. I was trying not to make every play perfect. You’re going to make mistakes. I have to let the plays come to me. It’s about finding yards, dirty yards.

In a career full of records and milestones, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz crossed off arguably his most impressive box on Saturday night.
With Iowa’s 47-7 win over UMass, Ferentz collected win No. 206 as the Hawkeyes’ head coach. That 206th win vaulted Ferentz into a category all by his lonesome.
Thanks to win No. 206, Ferentz leapt past legendary Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes to become the all-time winningest Big Ten coach in the conference’s storied history.
HOUSTON (AP) — Chase Jenkins completed 10 of his 16 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 124 yards and another score, as Rice defeated Prairie View A&M 38-17 on Saturday night.
After Prairie View scored the first touchdown, the Owls (2-1) scored 31 consecutive points to take a commanding lead early in the third quarter.
Aaron Turner scored on a 52-yard dash to start the second quarter. Jenkins and Landon Ransom-Goelz connected on a 34-yard passing touchdown early in the third quarter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Gabriel Moreno’s infield single drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-2 on Saturday.
With two outs and runners on second and third, Moreno hit a chopper against reliever Cole Sands (4-5) deep into the shortstop hole. Brooks Lee fielded the ball but Moreno beat his throw to first by a half-step, giving the Diamondbacks a 3-2 lead.
Two batters later, Blaze Alexander hit a two-run double to provide the final margin.
Quick Recap reminder: I write this all in real time. I don’t hold back. If I think it, I write it and this year, I’m even including timestamps so you can go back and check my work or follow along on a rewatch. Just like I would never judge any of you for overreacting, don’t throw any shade my way. Despite everything I said last week, I still somehow love this team with every fiber of my being and I want them to dominate every single snap every single game. Yes, I know that’s impossible, but the heart wants what it wants.
At least that should happen today…I hope.
