What should Penn State focus on in preparation for their upcoming game against No. 11 USC?

 As Penn State prepares against No. 11 USC, there are several key areas to focus on: 

1. Defensive game plan: USC's offense, led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Caleb Williams, is explosive. Penn State's defense will need discipline, especially in the defensive secondary, to limit big plays. A pass rush that can pressure Williams without breaking a sweat will be key. 2. Controlling the Pace: Penn State's offense needs to focus on controlling the pace with a balanced attack, alternating runs and passes to keep USC's defense on its toes. Creating a strong running game using their running backs will help keep USC's high-powered offense off the field. 

3. Limiting Turnovers: Against a team like USC, turnovers can be the difference. Penn State must prioritize ball security and avoid costly mistakes that could give USC more opportunities. 4. Special Teams: These matches are usually decided by special teams. Penn State must be strong in both the kickoff and return game to avoid creating an easy advantage in scoring or field position. Focusing on these areas will give Penn State the best chance to compete with a dynamic USC
