GLENDALE, Ariz. — Drew Allar threw three touchdown passes and sixth-seeded Penn State bottled up Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty for a 31-14 victory over No. 3 seed Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday night, earning a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

The Nittany Lions (13-2) opened their first CFP berth with a blowout victory over SMU and appeared headed toward the latest lopsided victory in the new 12-team format by jumping out to a 14-0 lead against Boise State.
