Look at the list of offenses PSU has played as Total Offense Category(not including FCS school Idaho)
- Minnesota is the highest ranked offense and they lose this one - 44th
- Michigan is the second most "potent" offense they faced - 78th rank - they barely hold on.
- Iowa - 85th - 1 score game
- Pitt - 86th - 1 score game
- Purdue - 91st - Highest ranked offense where they easily won
- Michigan State - 96th ditto
- Buffalo - 95
- Maryland - 101
- Illinois - 111
As a reference - we have played Indiana (34th), FAU (42nd), Wisconsin (58th), Nebraska (65th) and Cincinnati (70th) (who all had to play the number 1 defense in the country)
That's 5 offenses better than PSU's second best Offensive opponent (TTUN).
