Penn State came up on the wrong end of a true Big Ten defensive battle with Michigan in Week 11. The loss on Saturday afternoon in Beaver Stadium dropped the Nittany Lions to 8-2 on the year and 5-2 in Big Ten play, all but officially eliminating Penn State from competing for the Big Ten championship. Penn State’s offense continued to come up small against a good defense, and Michigan did its part to take away any opportunities for Penn State.
The final box score was not a pretty one for Penn State, especially on offense. With Michigan taking to the ground to establish control and winning the turnover battle, Penn State knows it has some big areas to improve before challenging for a Big Ten title any time soon.
Here is a look at some of the key stats from Penn State’s 24-15 loss to the Michigan Wolverines in Week 11.
