Defense

Defensive coordinator [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag] deserves props for this performance by the defense. Penn State may have been going up against a team battling quarterback issues, but that should not take away from holding the Hoosiers to fewer than 200 yards, forcing three turnovers, recording six sacks, and combining for 16 tackles for loss.
There was only one offensive series that flustered Penn State’s defense a bit in the first half, but the rest of the game was a work of art for the defense.
