What are James Franklin's keys to Penn State beating Rutgers? | Big Ten coaches call

Q: What are your three keys to beating Rutgers?

A: "Our focus is on winning the turnover margin like it is every week and the second one is winning the explosive-play battle. Those two statistics typically have the biggest factor (between) winning and losing week in and week out. So we want to make sure we win those two things.

"And then after that it’s field position. We want to make sure that our drive start average, with special teams and turnovers and things like that, that we win those three battles and we’ve done a pretty good job this year of managing those three.
