We did it, folks. We chopped Rutgers. It was a brutally long and horribly painful game to watch, but the Nittany Lions came out on top 13-10 after falling behind by ten points in the first half. Penn State looked to be down for the count in the fourth quarter but pulled off the kind of miracle victory that has defined this team over the last two seasons and change.

As you've likely heard by now, Senator George Mitchell released his second annual report as the Athletic Integrity Monitor at Penn State on Monday.

Lucky for you, we took the time to read through the entirety of the report and break it down.
