1) The next record

Kaytron Allen got his last week. It was Nicholas Singleton’s turn this week. With the second touchdown of the Nittany Lions’ day, Singleton became the all-time touchdown leader at 54. He added another one for good measure late in the third quarter.

2) Defense optional

Neither team could get a handle on the other in the first half, which led to Rutgers scoring the most points on Penn State since 1995. Penn State would go into the half up 3, and the track meet was on. Neither team would punt much, and the second half was an exercise in figuring out who would have the ball last, as that would be the team who won.

3) One play changed everything

Rutgers, up three late into the fourth and the ball, in a game where Penn State could not stop them, had the most catastrophic outcome possible. Athan Kaliakmanis was getting ready to pass the kill shot when the ball simple slipped out, and Amare Campbell picked scooped it up, took it back for seven, and Penn State didn’t look back.
