Penn State Football: Players of the game against Michigan

Penn State football headed to Ann Arbor on Saturday and absolutely laid an egg against the Wolverines. There’s no way to sugarcoat the performance. Lucky to be down just 14 points at halftime, the Nittany Lions imploded in the second half and limped away after a 42-7 defeat.

The offense was anemic throughout, failing to convert on third downs and failing to get anything going. Granted, Michigan has the best defense in the nation, but the Nittany Lions looked unprepared to face such a tough challenge.

Penn State’s defense played well throughout, except for a few blown coverages, but were dog tired in the second half after being on the field for much of the game.
