Nick Tarburton went to the podium to talk about how the team is doing as a whole. The defensive end spoke about a number of topics.
The Penn State defense is feeling very good about themselves after what they did to Auburn on Saturday. Tarburton thinks that the sky is the limit after what happened when they went up against Auburn.
“You saw what you can do within that defense,” said Tarburton. “As far as what we did last week, that was phenomenal.”
When it comes to his own skills, he thinks he is coming into his own. Part of the reason could be due to his relationship with DL coach John Scott Jr, as he mentioned how grateful he is to have met him.
Tarburton specifically talked about his pass rushing skills, and how they are improving every single game. Tarburton had 2 solo tackles against Auburn.
Tarburton knows that Nick Singleton has had some help from his offensive line through the first three games of the season. He has liked what he has seen from Penn State OL Olumuyiwa Fashanu so far.
This is everything that Tarburton said:
