They seem to have a pretty solid D. Most points they've given up all year was 31 to Iowa of all people.

What lost them the game against Rutgers was their O-line which couldn't pass protect.

Team pass efficiency D, Minnsota is 10th nationally, PSU is 22nd.
Passes intercepted, 4th in the country with 16 interception (PSU has 8) (so good secondary?)
71st in FBS with 19 sacks on the year. PSU has 25 sacks, Ohio State 30.

Tackles for loss, PSU 54, Minnesota 32 TFL which ranks 106th nationally.
Rushing D, PSU is 5th in the country at 3.2 ypa, gophers 35th at 3.7 so not bad there.

For some context about their secondary, of their 16 INTs, 6 came in 2 OOC games (we had 3 of our 8 in 2 OOC games). Another 3 came from their game vs UCLA.

And they only beat UCLA on a last minute td.
