Rutgers (5-5) head to Happy Valley to play Penn State (6-4) at noon on Saturday. A win would mean clinching bowl eligibility for the first time since 2014 and would also be a signature victory for the program. Do we think it will happen? Our contributors make their predictions here.
Dave White (5-5): The word bowl comes from the Olde English word “bolla”, meaning pot or cup. It also has ties with the German “bul” which means a round vessel. There’s also ties to Old Norse and even Old High German (I don’t know what that is)—the word “bhel”, which meant to swell.
