Bowl roundup: Penn State edges Washington

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Saquon Barkley had 137 yards rushing, including a Fiesta Bowl-record 92-yard touchdown run, and No. 9 Penn State continued its mastery in the desert with a 35-28 victory over No. 11 Washington on Saturday.

Trace McSorley completed 32 of 41 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns, and Barkley had two touchdown runs as the Nittany Lions (11-2) remained perfect in seven Fiesta Bowl appearances. McSorley also rushed for 58 yards.

Myles Gaskin rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns, and his 69-yard run with 6:52 remaining brought the Huskies (10-3) within seven 35-28.

Penn State, which had a bowl record 545 yards total offense, ate up more than six minutes on the clock before Tyler Davis’ 45-yard field goal attempt was wide. But Washington’s last-ditch hook-and-ladder play ended with an interception.

Iowa State 21, Memphis 20

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Allen Lazard tied a Liberty Bowl record with 10 catches for 142 yards as Iowa State capped off a turnaround season with a victory over No. 20 Memphis.

Lazard’s most important reception was one that put the Cyclones (8-5) ahead for good. He grabbed a 5-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Kempt with 4:28 left in the third quarter to make it 21-17. The ball was tipped just before it reached Lazard, who came back in from out of bounds to make the tumbling catch.

Riley Ferguson completed 21 of 33 passes for 286 yards for the Tigers (10-3), who entered with the nation’s second-highest scoring offense at 47.7 points per game. Iowa State notched six sacks and held Memphis to 53 yards rushing.
