Penn State lived in Michigan DC Don Brown's head for last year.  Team remembers 42-13 blow out in Happy Valley including an attempt to score by the Nitts on their final possession with 2 seconds left just to rub it in.

some raw stats on these teams. strictly just the in-conference numbers for the two teams- again just the B1G games- 5 B1G opponents each.

Points per game
Michigan: 35.4 PPG
Penn State: 33.8 PPG

Points allowed per game
Michigan: 13.6
Penn State: 24.8

Michigan's points allowed per game drops to 8.8 ppg if you remove garbage time points scored by NEB, Wisconsin, and Maryland. Penn State hasn't had garbage time points scored on them like this as far as I can tell. That 8.8 number drops even lower if you remove the kick return for a TD that Maryland got. Remove that and it's 7.4 ppg that the actual starting defense is allowing in B1G play in non-garbage time. And if you removed the trick play off the fumble against MSU- that number drops lower still to 6 ppg. I know, I know. Still counts. But absent that fumble in inclement weather by Evans at Michigan's own 5 yard line and the trick play that followed- MSU wasn't scoring any points all day long.

Point differential per game
Michigan: +21.8
Penn State: +9.0

Harbaugh said on the radio this morning that WR Tarik Black is back! We'll see how much he can contribute in the next few weeks. Hopefully they can get him up to speed in time for the Ohio State game.

Sanders and Higdon are 15th and 16th, respectively, in Div. 1A rushing.  Sanders is averaging 6.1 yards per carry with 834 total yards.  Higdon is averaging 5.4 yards per carry with 831 yards.  Penn State's next leading rusher is McSorely with 617 yards.  Patterson has only rushed for 145 yards.  So, if you can contain McSorely, and make him pass it's a big chunk of their offense gone.

Penn State

Rushing defense: 68th
Passing defense: 62nd
Total defense: 64th
Defensive efficiency: 26th

Rushing offense: 26th
Passing offense: 65th
Total offense: 35th
3rd down conversion:107th
Offensive efficiency: 32nd

Michigan

Rushing defense: 12th
Passing defense: 1st
Total defense: 1st
Defensive efficiency: 3rd

Rushing offense: 35th
Passing offense: 90th
Total offense: 58th
3rd down conversion:19th
Offensive efficiency: 14th

Michigan is 9th in rush defense and 33rd in rush offense.

ESPN? Well, that was your first mistake lol.
Got them from the NCAA's official site. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/24
Use that. I like looking at the advanced stats (S&P+) and the raw stats. Think looking at both gives a more complete picture. Obviously.
s&P+ stats
https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaaoff
https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaadef
Michigan's defense by the way has held 7 of it's 8 opponents to their lowest yardage totals of their seasons. In strictly B1G play, Michigan's defense is #1 in scoring defense, #1 in total defense, #1 in rushing defense, #1 in passing defense, #1 in passing efficiency allowed, #1 in sacks, #1 in 1st downs allowed, and #1 in fewest 3rd down conversions allowed in the B1G.
