Another Penn State, anther win.  I’m sure that JoPa will find something whine about as he does every time he plays the Wolverines for the last DECADE.

Offense-  Nice to see Mallett show his mobility on the first touchdown.  Mike Hart is one of the best running backs I’ve ever seen.  It took as many as four defenders to bring him down on some plays.  Pretty bland offensive game plan, Mallett showed his youth trying to force some throws in the red zone.

Defense-  The defense shut the Nittany Lions down but there are still questions.  Penn State runs a conventional offense- something that Michigan usually contains. 

Special Teams-  Missed another field goal.

Coaching-  A great performance but Penn State is a predictable opponent.  The Wolverines did enough to win a tight game but questions remain.
