Carl Nassib is ready to be a household name, and he's making it known. Get to know him before he takes the field against Rutgers.

Our staff (almost) unanimously agrees: Rutgers is missing too many key parts to compete with Penn State, and the Nittany Lions should find themselves over .500 when the game's over.

With Rutgers having an historically fantastic kick blocking team and Penn State struggling in the punting game, it is imperative for the Nittany Lions to get to a consistent kicking game in order to beat Rutgers.

Fellow redshirt freshmen Nick Scott and DeAndre Thompkins have provided a spark to Penn State's return game off the bench, which could prove crucial against Rutgers Saturday night.

Kickoff can happen at three particular times: 12:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. We had three of our writers lace up their cleats and defend their picks for which kickoff time is the best.

Senior linebacker Ben Kline was selected to the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team -- the third Penn State player to receive such honors.
