Catches late TD in loss Saunders caught all two targets for 25 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-12 loss to Ohio State.

Impact Saunders scored the Nittany Lions' lone touchdown in this defensive slugfest, going up for an eight-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. However, this reception came with Penn State already down 20-6 with just under one minute remaining, so this score can largely be attributed to the late-game situation rather than playing any significant role in the passing game. Saunders caught three of his four targets through the first six games this season, and his production should regress back to its standard output moving forward.
