Penn State has been very solid on defense
Day on Penn State's defense: "I think the defense has played well. It's a very good defense… They have a very good scheme, very good players."

The Nittany Lion defense has given up some yards this season, but it’s been a bit of a bend but don’t break unit that’s been tough to score points on. In fact, Penn State is No. 6 in all of FBS in scoring defense at 14.71 points per game.
The last team that gave up yards but made it difficult to finish off drives was Oregon. OSU put up over 600 yards of offense on the Ducks, but couldn’t get off the pond and into the end zone. Because of some missed fourth-down tries and field goal attempts, the Buckeyes went down on that fateful night. They’ll need to cash in Saturday night against a similar type of defense.
