Does Penn State defense have the advantage? 

Penn State’s defense has lived up to the preseason hype with a dominant showing after a slow start to the season. Defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is putting together one of his career’s most historically stingy defenses. But what happens when they face off against the best offense they’ve seen this year?

For the first time this year, cornerback Kalen King will be tested by Harrison Jr and the passing attack of the Buckeyes. Also, can Penn State maintain its progress up front and continue its stifling run defense? We’ll cover those topics and more on the Penn State Football tailgate show.
