Report card: Grading Penn State’s big win at Auburn

Defense

Grade: A+

Two fumbles forced, two interceptions, 11 tackles for a loss, and six sacks. This defense has never looked more dominant than it did today. They were flying all over, played controlled, and looked like a primed version of what you expect out of a Manny Diaz. This defense can keep this team in any game all year. Ohio State, Michigan, or Maryland, they all will have issues at some point with this defense. Because of that Penn State has a chance to beat all of them and have a special season.
