The Penn State offense started out slow in an odd way against USC. The team marched down the field twice in the first half yet failed to score a touchdown in either situation, settling for field goals on both drives. That led the team to a 20-6 deficit at halftime, thanks to some broken and busted explosive plays from the defense. So what changed in the second half that allowed Penn State to score 21 points in the second half? We'll dive into the game plan that the team used to start and the one they used after halftime to understand how the team put together a comeback that could define the season.
