Penn State's Ji'Ayir Brown on game-winning interception: 'Oh, this one is definitely mine

Penn State is coming off a massive win against the No.12 Wisconsin Badgers on the road to start the season 1-0.

The game did not look pretty, as it was a defensive slugfest throughout. The Nittany Lions would end up prevailing 16-10. Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz throwing 2 picks in the final three minutes helped the Nittany Lions to hold onto the lead and eventually the victory.

Senior safety Ji’Ayir Brown made the game-winning interception to seal the victory for the Nittany Lions.

Before that play, Brown thought he should have had another interception in the game, so when his time came again, he made the most of it.

Audrey Snyder, a beat writer for The Athletic covering Penn State, provides more context:

Ji’Ayir Brown said he missed a pick earlier (one that was broken up along the sideline) Said he kept thinking about getting his hands on another ball. Then, it happened. “I’m like ‘Oh this one is definitely mine’.”
