Here is a breakdown of the stats comparison between both defenses this year. Penn St. had a much tougher schedule this year overall playing Ohio St, WV, ND, OR, IL, SMU, and Boise St. Clemson had some decent stats in terms of sacks, TFL's and INT's but we sucked in all of the other areas. Our toughest games were against UGA, SC, SMU, TX and Louisville. Allen ran a pretty darn good defense against some really good rushing and passing teams.
