GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Rutgers’ defense vs. Penn State’s rushing attack. Penn State’s ground game had stalled a bit with QB Trace McSorley dealing with a sore knee. But Sanders, who had only received 20 carries once before Saturday’s game, carved Wisconsin’s defense up. The Scarlet Knights are much worse than the Badgers and are allowing a whopping 230 yards per game to opposing offenses. They’ll need to do much better to even keep this close.
DRAFT SLANT
–CB Amani Oruwariye made four tackles and snagged his eighth career interception against Wisconsin. The senior is rated the 111th-best NFL prospect for the 2019 draft, according to NFLDraftScout.com.
