Penn State offense dominates ground game in new-look style: Film Study
Penn State started slow but steadily built a lead through the first half against Auburn before busting the game wide open in Saturday’s 41-12 win. In today’s film review, we’ll focus on the offensive line and its continued evolution, individual standout players, and what the Tigers did on defense that gave Penn State an advantage.
Penn State’s run game evolution
Over the first two weeks of the season, we’ve discussed Penn State’s tweaks, adding in more man-based concepts. Those conversations were centered around the skills of freshman running back Nicholas Singleton and his comfort in that environment. But against Auburn, we see that this change goes beyond that. Based on their formations and fronts, Auburn expected Penn State to stick to the script from the first two week; play off the inside zone system and sprinkle in some tendency-breakers. The Tigers appeared ready to deploy the same game plan of a three-down front with a condensed formation to gum up Penn State’s zone blocking. They even threw in some defensive line slants into the zone side of the formation.
