In a game that was predictably ugly to watch, Penn State saw yet another potential win slip away. It feels redundant to point out once again the hallmarks of the Nittany Lions offense that prevented them from coming away with the win. It was a back-and-forth affair throughout the second half, but any time the home team got a lead, they froze. Rutgers took control over the final six minutes, and Penn State just didn’t seem to have enough in the tank.
The game started slow on both ends, as expected, with both teams struggling to hit field goals.
