On Saturday afternoon, the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights engaged in a contest of American football at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey. Penn State emerged victorious, 23-6. I have several thoughts, which are set forth randomly below:
1. Even though the Nittany Lions put together their first complete game of the season against Michigan the week prior, this past Saturday’s game remained in some doubt prior to the opening kickoff.
2. Reasonably so. The talent differential on these teams alone is sufficient to make Penn State a 10-point favorite.
