For the second consecutive week, Penn State put on a complete defensive effort that made it impossible to single out an individual MVP performance. It’s a great problem to have as the Nittany Lions are now 4-0 with maybe the best defense in the nation residing in Happy Valley.
According to the box score, linebacker Curtis Jacobs had the best individual performance - with a total of three tackles and one TFL. It’s hard to put up numbers though when the defense is constantly forcing the offense off the field. Iowa only had 33 offensive snaps the entire night in the Nittany Lions 31-0 victory, compared to 97 for Penn State.
