Following another deflating loss to a top 5 opponent the question was whether or not James Franklin’s team would have a let down against Rutgers to close out the Beaver Stadium schedule, it was a win but hardly an impressive one as the Nittany Lions won 27-6. In their first game without Mike Yurcich the Lions offense continued to struggle as they went into the half only up 10-6 and had to once again rely on the defense to carry the team.
