Grade: B+

Ohio only had one touchdown drive all game, with a drive capitalizing on the success of some trick plays late in the first half. But that was all the Bobcats could muster against the Penn State defense, which appeared to clean a few things up from their season opener at Purdue.

Penn State had just one sack in the game, however, and they failed to force a turnover too. If there are two areas where defensive coordinator Manny Diaz would love to see more results, it will be these two categories. Penn State forced just one turnover in Week 1.
