Playing one of the worst teams in the Big Ten Conference, Penn State football was expected to have an easy time against Rutgers. The Nittany Lions did in fact leave New Jersey with a win, but the 20-7 result had to be a bit concerning for Penn State fans.
The Nittany Lions really struggled on offense, managing just 322 total yards against the lowly Scarlet Knights.
Senior quarterback Trace McSorley threw for 183 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. The ground game struggled as well, with Miles Sanders running for 88 yards and no touchdowns.
Fortunately, the Penn State defense came to play.
