Micah Parsons: “It’s extremely important to always have someone go in when you need a blow,” Parsons said. “When you’ve got guys you can rely on, it helps a defense because then you’re not putting too much stress on the ones and you’re not putting too much stress on the twos. I think we’ve got a great rotation going on.”

Garrett Taylor: “[Depth] shows up late in games, on big drives, stuff like that,” Taylor said. “Guys are fresher than they would be.” and "It’s just super helpful to be able to rotate guys in and out, not have any drop off at all.”

@David Eckert-BWI Staff :
"When Penn State’s offense faltered in the second half, unable to give the defense a rest as the Wolverine offense continued to pound away, the Nittany Lions never collapsed like a lesser defense might.

They just kept filtering fresh guys in."

So the players themselves never mention being tired. It's just fans who want to BELIEVE that those late TDs were the fault of the Offense.
