Rob Bolden and Matt McGloin combined to throw three touchdown passes as visiting Penn State found some offense Saturday in a 33-21 victory over Minnesota.

The true freshman Bolden completed 11-of-13 passes for 130 yards in the first half before leaving with concussion-like symptoms. He hit Brett Brackett for 21 yards on Penn State’s first possession to open the scoring.

McGloin, listed No.3 on the depth chart, replaced Bolden and threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Derek Moye for his first college completion. That gave Penn State a 21-7 edge with 4:16 left in the first half. The sophomore hit Moye again for 9 yards in the fourth to push the edge to 33-14.

McGloin finished 6-of-13 for 76 yards, with an interception.

The Nittany Lions (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) scored just 16 points in their last two games, lopsided losses to Iowa and Illinois.

Adam Weber threw three touchdown passes to Da’Jon McKnight for Minnesota (1-7, 0-4 Big Ten), which lost its seventh straight and first under interim head coach Jeff Horton. Weber completed 26-of-49 passes for 299 yards to become the fifth Big Ten quarterback to surpass 10,000 career yards.

Penn State's Evan Royster ran for 62 yards and now needs 31 yards to surpass Curt Warner’s school record of 3, 398 yards.
