Establishing run paramount for Penn State

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Wins against No. 12 Wisconsin and No. 22 Auburn at the time have gone a long way in the confidence of Penn State's football team and yet, the Nittany Lions have yet to play a complete game.

The defense has been better than advertised allowing a total of 43 points this season or 14.3 points per game. Special teams have recovered from a suspect opening game against the Badgers cleaning things up on the field goal unit to go three-for-four last week against Ball State.

Which leads us to the offense, which in the points column, is having a great deal of success averaging 29 points per game boosted largely by a 44-point outburst last week.
