Happy Valley has never been a place kind to Rutgers Football.
The Scarlet Knights came into the game without a touchdown on the road against Penn State since 1994. They also came in having scored just one touchdown since Oct. 21 against Indiana.
Both numbers remained in tact following another trip to State College due to common miscues.
Rutgers committed costly penalties and turned the ball over three times during its 27-6 loss to Penn State at Beaver Stadium. The offense finished with just 229 total yards in the contest.
Early on, what we already knew was reinforced — the defense is as good as advertised.
