Opponent Defense Preview: Penn State

Intros suck. Let’s get to it.

Personnel

Important to note first, is that Penn State’s defense is capable of adapting to whatever an offense shows or tends towards. In film from two of their victories and two of their defeats, I saw a pretty even split between 4-3, 3-4, and 3-3-5, with some other packages thrown in from time to time. Whether against Michigan State’s endless I Formations, anOSU’s zone read, or Indiana’s... whatever Indiana does, the Nittany Lions’ versatility means there’s probably no single offense that would be a perfect mismatch.

Accordingly, they’re allowing only 15.
