Until Rutgers fans can figure out how to have a rivalry and be hospitable to opposing fans, nobody is going to respect the Big Ten's newest member. One of our writers spent the game on the field and left with a negative impression of Scarlet Knights fans after being cursed and spit at throughout the game.
So, this was a fun week for Penn State football. We had our sanctions lifted, we had fun talking with our pals over at Rutgers , and, of course we had that great football game. And, to top it all off, we got a new recruit from none other than the great state of New Jersey. Unfortunately, not everyone had as great a week as ours, especially not Rutgers.
After collecting two interceptions against Rutgers, Trevor Williams has been named the B1G defensive player of the week.
The Rutgers game gave us much to ponder and discuss for the weeks ahead.
Penn State has received a commitment from linebacker Daiquan Kelly. Kelly, who hails from Union City in New Jersey, also received an offer from Rutgers. Kelly had previously committed to Syracuse, before flipping to Penn State.
And the long string of dominance against Rutgers continues! Thanks to some late game heroics from Christian Hackenberg and Eugene Lewis, Penn State moved to 3-0 on the season with a 13-10 win over the Scarlet Knights.
