Peppers concerns Nittany Lions

STATE COLLEGE — It’s hard not to notice Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers on film.

His athletic ability stands out to Penn State (2-1) players who’ve watched him all week as they prepare to face Michigan’s dynamic playmaker and the No. 4 Wolverines (3-0) on Saturday. But there’s something else, something unique.

“He’s all over the place,” Penn State wideout DaeSean Hamilton said. “We call those type of guys game-wreckers. We need to make sure they don’t come in and wreck the game.”

That’s exactly what Michigan’s do-it-all utility man did last week when his team fell into a 21-7 first-quarter hole against Colorado.

Peppers moved around in the Wolverine’s defensive alignments to spark the Michigan defense with nine tackles, 3 1/2 for losses, and a sack. He added a 54-yard punt return TD.
