Defense: B-
The beginning of this game wasn’t all defense on both sides, but both found success early.
Guys like Brandon Smith and Ellis Brooks were on their game tonight. Of the three games played, this is where Penn State found most of their struggles.
Despite the win, Auburn found success in the run game, especially in the second half. Tank Bigsby put on a show and caused problems for Penn State for the majority of the game.
However, Penn State still played well in other areas of their defense.
