No. 10/12 Penn State welcomed Rutgers to Happy Valley for a 3:30 kickoff. PSU came into the week ranked 10th in the BCS rankings so a New Year’s Six Bowl was easily within reach. If everything broke their way, a miracle College Football Playoff appearance was even possible. After Thursday and Friday’s results plus the outcome of the noon games that miracle scenario was off the table. It was far from a typical crowd in one of the nation’s largest stadiums, though still more folks in attendance than even the best RU home turnout in 2019. Penn State’s initial drive hit a critical 3rd and 7 at the RU 35, but after a sack from Tyshon Fogg and Damon Hayes was forced to punt.
Rutgers Football comes up short at no. 10/12 Penn State in season finale, 27-6.
