Penn State Football LB Brandon Smith

Brandon Smith led the Nittany Lions’ defense with 10 total tackles. He had six solo tackles, one tackle for loss, and one QB hurry.

Late in the first half, Smith had the opportunity to potentially put this game away early with a big interception deep in Auburn territory, but he was unable to haul it in.

As a former five star recruit, Smith is expected to step up and play his best in the biggest games. So far this season, he has done that. Smith has played well in each of the Nittany Lions’ two wins over ranked opponents so far this season.

Brandon Smith was all over the field against the Tigers, and he played a big part in this defense trying to slow down Auburn’s star running back, Tank Bigsby.
