READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above

KEY 01

Stop the run first and stop it early. Penn State runs 60.3% on first down, and with a 1st-down PPA of 0.23 they are generating positive value doing it. If we let them win first down on the ground, they control field position, stay ahead of the chains, and never have to open it up. Our front has to be gap-sound on every first-down snap.

KEY 02

Lock down third and short on the ground, stay disciplined on third and long through the air. They run 69% of the time on third and short, so we cannot sell out for pass in those situations or they will walk through us. Flip side, on third and long they pass 78% of the time, so the back end needs to be in a call that takes away the sticks and forces the incompletion rather than giving up a conversion.

KEY 03

Pack the box in the red zone. Penn State runs 73.3% of red zone snaps, and with a 54.5% run rate when leading by a touchdown or more, they will absolutely try to pound it in and sit on the clock if they get ahead. We have to make them throw the football inside the 20 and make them earn it in a way they are not comfortable with.

Bottom linePenn State is a run-first team that earns a 0.27 PPA per play and converts 44.1% of third downs, so they are effective but not explosive at 11.3%. If we win first down and hold third and short, we make them one-dimensional and cut into that conversion rate.
