As mentioned, the defense lost several key players leading up to this game. But, that didn’t affect them too much to start out the game.

Brown had an impressive game to finish off his season, including two interceptions in the first half.

With Arnold Ebiketie being one of the players who opted out for Penn State, another veteran in Jesse Luketa stepped up today.

However, Penn State still struggled to stop the run, allowing over 100 yards rushing from Razorbacks quarterback KJ Jefferson.
