    STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Ticker) -- Penn State once againlooked like a real contender in the Big Ten Conference.Conversely, Notre Dame looked like anything but a nationalpowerhouse.


    Austin Scott rushed for two touchdowns and the 14th-rankedNittany Lions stymied Notre Dame's sputtering offense en routeto a 31-10 victory Saturday night.


    With the win, Penn State (2-0) exacted a measure of revengeagainst the Fighting Irish, who rolled to a 41-17 triumph whenthese teams met last year in South Bend. The Nittany Lions beatNotre Dame for the first time since November 6, 1991, andimproved to 9-9-1 all-time against the Irish.


    Saturday night's contest certainly started in inauspiciousfashion for Penn State, as Notre Dame jumped out to a 7-0 leadon cornerback Darrin Walls' 74-yard interception return for ascore.


    But Penn State remained resolute, limiting Notre Dame (0-2) tojust 146 yards of total offense while sacking freshmanquarterback Jimmy Clausen five times. The Nittany Lions alsostuffed Notre Dame's ineffective ground game, which was heldwith without a rushing yard.


    The Irish have managed a total of minus-eight rushing yards overtheir first two contests and are 0-2 for the first time since2001, when they finished 5-6.


    Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions moved the ball methodically behindScott, who finished with 116 yards on 28 carries. Rodney Kinlawchipped in 48 yards on just nine carries for Penn State, whichfinished with 165 yards on the ground.


    After throwing the first-quarter interception to Walls, PennState quarterback Anthony Morelli directed the offenseefficiently and finished 12-of-22 for 130 yards and one TD.

    Penn State forged a 7-7 tie with 52 seconds left in the openingquarter when Derrick Williams reeled off a 77-yard punt returnfor a score.


    The Nittany Lions took the lead for good with 6:37 left in thefirst half when Morelli found Jordan Norwood on a crossing routefor a 10-yard scoring strike to make it 14-7.


    The teams exchanged field goals early in the third quarterbefore Penn State took a commanding 24-10 lead on Scott's firstTD of the game, a one-yard plunge with 4:47 left in the period.

    Clausen looked shaky in his first career start, completing17-of-32 passes for 145 yards and one interception.
