On the day that kicks off the 100 days until Penn State Football countdown, Penn State fans have an additional reason to celebrate. Bleacher Report has named Penn State as the second-best defense in all of college football heading into the 2019 season.
The Nittany Lions finished only behind Alabama, who has plenty of talent in the pipeline as always and will now welcome 15 four or five-star recruits on the defensive side of the ball in 2019. Bleacher Report also listed Michigan (#4) and Ohio State (#9) in its top 10. Penn State was also one spot ahead of the defending national champions Clemson.
