PISCATAWAY -- Familiarity is said to breed contempt, but Rutgers versus Penn State hasn't had much trash talk since Leonte Carroo and Bill Belton traded barbs in 2014.
Still, Rutgers has 11 Pennsylvanians on its roster, while Penn State has 16 New Jerseyans on its roster.
"That's not how we approach things," coach James Franklin said when asked if he expected a little more intensity in this border battle.
If Penn State is expecting the same Rutgers team that it beat 39-0 last season, there are a lot of reasons it will be surprised.
