It’s basically become a ritual this season to be wowed by the defensive performance, only to be further floored when examining the box score once the dust settles. The latest masterpiece from the Penn State defense included allowing just five first downs and 53 total yards by the Spartans — not 53 passing or rushing yards, but a grand total of 53 total yards of offense on the night. They held Michigan State to -35 yards rushing and -1.3 yards per attampt weeks after allowing -49 to Maryland. The defense totaled seven sacks and 12 TFLs as they completely shut down another offense for their third shutout of the season.
