Penn State Football: Position Grades at Pitt
By Dylan Burd
Linebackers
For the linebackers, its very similar to the defensive line. The first half was terrible, due to the 214 rushing yards allowed, and the second half was great, due to the 31 rushing yards allowed. They deserve to get the same grade.
True freshman Micah Parsons stood out once again, as he tied for the team lead in tackles with seven. Parsons has also shown off on special teams thus far in 2018, as he blocked a punt in this game. Jan Johnson also played well again, as he had five tackles, including half a sack and half a tackle for loss.
It was also nice to see other guys like Cam Brown and Ellis Brooks play well, as they combined to have six tackles.
