It’s getting worse

Slants are open, rushing lanes are open, tackling is bad. Rutgers is getting a "choose your own adventure" of how it wants to score on every drive.

Not a lot to say about this defense right now other than it has been really, really bad.

Good job on that drive by Penn State to get some points on the board. Aggressive play-calling and decisive throws from Grunkemeyer made it happen.

Penn State concedes on third down and punts on fourth. Not ideal.
