Defense
Grade: F
This was by far the worst defensive outing Penn State fans have seen in a while, and it started off looking rough right from the start. Michigan accumulated 563 yards of total offense with 418 rushing yards to overpower the defense. The defense did capitalize on a mistake by Michigan to score a touchdown by [autotag]Curtis Jacobs[/autotag], and [autotag]Ji’Ayir Brown[/autotag] racked up plenty of tackles early on as the Nittany Lions buckled down on a couple of early red zone threats by Michigan, but the final box score speaks for itself on this one. This was not a day to remember for defensive coordinator [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag].
