The Lions struggled on offense and defense last week in a 41-17 loss at Michigan. When you play like that, it makes it very difficult for an offense.” “I wouldn’t say their schemes are simple, but they’re sound,” Penn State tight end Theo Johnson said. They also have an outstanding defense that ranks first in third-down conversions, fourth in points allowed (11.7) and sixth in total yards allowed (263.7). The Gophers like to control the ball and the clock and are fifth nationally in time of possession with an average of 34:58. Ibrhaim ranks fourth nationally in rushing with 138.8 yards per game and has nine touchdowns. “Older guys like me, we have a sense of the offense and how it runs because we practiced against it for a year or so.”īesides Morgan, running back Mohamed Ibrahim and a massive offensive line lead the Minnesota offense. “So we’ve got to be good with our eyes and prevent the quarterback from taking the deep shots. “They were a really good RPO (run-pass option) team that will take shots down the field,” said cornerback Daequan Hardy, a freshman in 2019. Several Penn State defensive players remember that game and the one year that Ciarrocca was on their coaching staff. He completed 18-of-20 passes for 339 yards and three touchdown passes without an interception. Three years ago with Ciarrocca as his coordinator, Morgan led Minnesota to a 31-26 upset win over No.

“I think a guy who’s played as much football as him can go out and play on Saturday (without a full amount of practice).” “Tanner’s doing surprisingly well,” Ciarrocca said. Whether Morgan will play against the Lions was uncertain. Tanner Morgan, a sixth-year quarterback like Penn State’s Sean Clifford, left the Illinois game with a concussion after he was hit in the head by a defender. Minnesota, though, has committed six turnovers in its last two games, Big Ten West losses to Purdue and Illinois. Minnesota’s offense has performed better than Penn State’s this season, the Gophers are averaging 34.5 points and 442.2 total yards compared to the Lions’ 31.5 points and 414.3 yards.
