STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WHTM) -- Saturday's game between Penn State and Nevada made history, sort of.

The 46-11 Nittany Lion victory was a "scorigami." In other words, it was the first time in collegiate football that a game ended with that final score.

Sportswriter Jon Bois coined the term and it was popularized by an X account tracking the phenomenon in the National Football League.
