The Nittany Lions(1-1) will welcome in their first B1G opponent of the year in Rutgers. Coming off a 27-13 win over Buffalo, Penn State looks to continue to improve on all fronts of the game.

The Scarlet Knights(1-1) will be without their best player, WR Leonte Carroo and head coach Kyle Flood, who are both suspended due to allegations. On the flip side, Penn State will have its first ever “Stripe Out” (see picture above) in front of a slew of top recruits.

Last thoughts:
Hackenberg didn’t get sacked last week, we hope that continues to be the trend. I would like to see the ball in Brandon Polk’s hands a little more( 4 rushed 92 yards 1TD on the season) he opens up the field and takes more pressure off the passing game. We’ll see if Saquon Barkley can follow up on his break out performance last week. The defense was improved last week, especially Carl Nassib who had 3 sacks, that should be the case against Rutgers QB Chris Laviano who is making his second career start. With everything going on at Rutgers, Penn State should be able to control the game In front of their home crowd.
