10 things to know about Penn State: Are the Lions really 4 TDs better than Rutgers?

November 9, 2006: Rutgers 28, Louisville 25. The Scarlet Knights had never beaten a team ranked as high as No. 3 in the country until this game. Now, as we near the 10-year anniversary of the greatest win in Rutgers Football history, we go behind the scenes and take you back to that memorable week.

For Rutgers, the motivation is simple: Spoil Penn State's quest for a Big Ten title. The Nittany Lions are locked in a three-way tie for first place in the Big Ten East Division. Wins in their final two regular-season games, coupled with a Michigan loss in one of its next two contests, will send the Nittany Lions to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game in three weeks.
