Coaching

Penn State was focused and ready to play, especially the defense, from the onset of the game.

The offense made plays in the first half, they just couldn’t punch it in the endzone.  Credit Joe Moorhead for making the halftime adjustments and they buried Rutgers in the second half.

It was a total team effort Saturday night from the offense, defense, special teams and coaches.
