Ryan Silverfield showed that he can handle the team moving forward, but it still wasn't enough to lead the Tigers to a win over the Nittany Lions.
With less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Brady White had a pass intercepted by Marquis Wilson. It essentially iced the game for Penn State.
After the interception happened, the ESPN cameras caught a few priceless reactions from Memphis fans.

The Tigers still would have been trailing if White led them to a touchdown on that drive. Nonetheless, the fact that he threw an interception in Penn State territory had Memphis fans in disbelief.
Memphis fans should still be proud of their team, which finished the season with a 12-2 record.
As for the fans in Happy Valley, they have to be pleased with how Penn State finished the year on a positive note.
