Film Room: Penn State

Willis Forced Fumble

This was a pretty big play that I think might get overlooked with the way the rest of the game went, although Willis was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. Penn State was moving the ball early in the game and had a first down at the MSU 34-yard line.

Willis (yellow) creeps down and is going to come on a blitz while everyone else is going to drop into coverage. MSU is rushing five total and dropping seven. Willis doesn’t really get much of a pass rush on, but that doesn’t end up mattering in the end.
