UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Wide receiver Chris Godwin started looking at Michigan film at the beginning of Penn State’s open week, trying to use as much time as possible to figure out what makes this Wolverines defense so stingy.
“It’s definitely something that you look forward to,” said Godwin, the Nittany Lions’ top receiver. “You know you’re going to have an opportunity to make plays and make contested catches, and as a competitor, you want to be in situations where you can go and try to outperform somebody.”
Michigan is second in total defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision — surrendering 268.
