While Penn State is losing some high-level talent to the NFL, there are still many reasons to be optimistic about the Nittany Lions defense in 2016.
While the Penn State defense is in somewhat of a rebuilding mode after losing the likes of Carl Nassib, Austin Johnson, Anthony Zettel and Jordan Lucas, there's still plenty of reasons to be optimistic as we prepare for the 2016 season. I mean, it is Penn State after all, right? While we patiently await the new-look offense with plenty of hand-wringing over everything that has gone wrong in the past, hopefully we can sit back and assume Penn State will be among the best defenses in the Big Ten once again.
