Episode Synopsis

Penn States interim head coach, Terry Smith, praised his defenses performance in a heartbreaking loss to Indiana, highlighting their improved physicality, pressure on the quarterback, and three sacks, a season high. Despite holding Indiana to nearly twenty points below their season average, the game slipped away in the final two minutes due to Indianas tough, fifty-fifty plays. Smith attributed the defenses recent improvement to a better understanding of the system, simplified play-calling, and more blitz packages. Penn State aims to carry this momentum into their next game against Michigan State, a team with offensive struggles.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
