Penn State football defeated Delaware 63-7 on Saturday for its second win of the 2023 season. While it wasn't a competitive contest at any point, there's still plenty to learn from the defenisve film. We're starting our review of the defensive film by looking at the starting unit and how they corrected or didn't correct issues from the first week of the season. We'll focus on individual players, like Abdul Carter's bounce-back performance and how Delaware tried to attack Penn State's secondary. Of course, we cover the touchdown run in the second quarter. We'll discuss not only who was responsible but why. Finally, we'll review Dom DeLuca's elite coverage performance that resulted in a defensive touchdown.
