Football Report Card
| Report Card: Penn State 22, Indiana 18 | ||
| POSITION | COMMENTS | |
| Quarterback | B+ | Other than one poor decision, Zack Mills turned in a solid performance. Anthony Morelli showed promise but also a bit of inexperience. |
| Running backs | B+ | Austin Scott finally saw some action, and he and Tony Hunt carried the load against a weak Indiana run defense. Hunt punched it in when it counted. |
| Wide Receivers | A- | The receivers finally made the big plays when it counted. Michael Robinson’s TD catch was impressive and Mark Rubin made several great grabs. |
| Offensive line | B | The line continues to give the Lions a decent run game, even though it came against the Hoosiers. Solid, but not as dominating as one might hope. |
| Defensive line | A | The line shut down Hoosiers back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who was big last year, and was instrumental in the goal-line stand that won the game. |
| Linebackers | A | See above. Paul Posluszny continued his stellar play with another double-digit tackle game and was as big a factor at the end of the game as anyone. |
| Secondary | A- | Alan Zemaitis got his first interception of the season and though Anwar Phillips dropped a TD, he made the tackle at the 1 to set up the final stand. |
| Special Teams | C+ | Jeremy Kapinos remains the only bright spot for this unit as the return games have not improved on last year, continuing to be indecisive and ineffective. |
