How Penn State dashed SMU’s Cinderella dreams with ease: Takeaways from a Playoff rout

New York Times  

By Audrey Snyder, Chris Vannini and Justin Williams No. Penn State’s offense struggled early on a windy, frigid day in Happy Valley, but two pick sixes by linebackers Dominic DeLuca and Tony Rojas off of SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings gave the Nittany Lions a 14-0 lead in a game that turned into a blowout soon after in front of an announced crowd of 106,013. The Athletic’s analysis: Penn State defense every bit as dominant as it needs to be DeLuca’s interception return for a touchdown midway through the first quarter immediately brought the White Out crowd to life. — Snyder ANOTHER PICK-SIX FOR PENN STATE 😱 THE CROWD IS GOING WILD IN HAPPY VALLEY 🔥 pic.twitter.com/pxw89CKvXE — SportsCenter December 21, 2024 Nittany Lions still have another gear they can reach As the discourse surrounding whether or not SMU deserved to be in the Playoff presumably rages, give credit to Penn State for, like it’s done all season, winning a game it’s supposed to win. Yes, SMU made a ton of mistakes, but Penn State’s defense was relentless and the Nittany Lions took advantage.
