Rutgers hosts Penn State in a New Year’s Day matinee on Sunday in what is a crucial game for both teams. After each lost their conference opener by double digits, both teams would like to get a win early on in Big Ten play. While Penn State has struggled at times during their non-conference schedule, they also have plenty of talent on the roster. To find out more about the current state of the team, I spoke with Aaron Yorke of SB Nation’s Penn State Blog, Black Shoe Diaries. I asked him about their 8-6 start to the season, how the talented newcomers are meshing with star Shep Garner, as well as what to expect on the defensive end from Penn State.
