The one thing we did not win is the penalty battle, which is disappointing, but overall, really good. Last thing I'll say, if you talk about the stats and we talked about the time of possession, turnover battle, we won, explosive play battle, we won. So again, I appreciate everybody coming out. But we were able to get some guys off the field, to keep those guys fresh and healthy moving forward. I'll be interested to see what the play count was for a guy like Olu or a guy like Hunter. We were able to get a bunch of guys experience, which is going to be important for us down the stretch, but we also were able to get a lot of our guys off the field as well. And then the last thing is we were able to play a ton of guys. We didn't have a whole lot of punt opportunities, but I think when we did that it was a 47-yard punt. Our kickoffs, our few kick returns, we have some things that we have to get cleaned up.
I thought we were more consistent on special teams today. But overall, obviously statistically, really good. If you're supposed to be in the C gap, you have to be in the C gap. If you're supposed to be in a B gap, you have to be in the B gap. The ball found that gap, and they got some talented guys that can run, so just a really good example that everybody's got to do their job on a consistent basis. We had the one play where we were not gap sound. Defensively, same thing, I thought we played really well. But besides that, I thought we played very efficient today on offense. The one thing is the penalties and we've been pretty disciplined with that. We were able to stay on the field, we were able to sustain drives, we were able to convert on third down. A couple of things I thought offensively, I just thought we were very efficient. So very, very appreciative especially with the weather forecast.
In today's day and age, people are struggling to get fans at games, and we got 108,000 for a noon game. To me, that is an example of how special this place is. Potential rain, thunder and lightning, but we had an awesome crowd. We had a noon game, which I know they love. They love the noon games. We don't take that for granted and we do appreciate it.
Like always, I want to take a minute and thank you guys for coming out and covering Penn State football.
