With the Quakers’ (2-0) defense pitching a shutout, Sayin’s 1-yard scoring run at the end of a six-play, 35-yard drive with 3:13 left in the third sealed it.
The Leopards took a deep shot with 7:18 left before halftime but Logan Nash picked off Ryan Schuster at the Quaker’s 10 to thwart Lafayette (1-3). Schuster finished with 167 yards passing but the running game netted just one yard on 26 attempts.
Sayin finished 23-for-39 passing for 196 yards and Julien Stokes caught four passes for 75 yards. Penn’s last shutout was Oct. 9, 2021 when it beat Lehigh 20-0.
