I said going into this game that it would be ideal to force PSU to play catch-up all game by scoring two quick TDs & forcing PSU to beat us passing. Their run game, specifically Clifford/QB, was the biggest threat. The second biggest threat was the TE. 

Mission accomplished.

Yes, in the 2nd half he threw for a lot of yards. Credit Jahan Dotson for a couple of excellent individual plays for sure.  

Yet, I think some of that was by design. We were determined to not let the QB run or TE defeat us.  It reminded me of some of Tressel/Fickell/Heacock defenses that played a little bend but don’t break Cover 3 — esp. with the lead. 

The secondary needs to improve some but I don’t think they’re bad. They were playing off some in the second half and keeping things in front of them for the most part.
