Inside the Box Score: Key stats from Penn State’s win over Rutgers

Inside the box score from Penn State’s 28-0 win over Rutgers shows defense was terrific once again, as was Christian Veilleux.

Penn State took care of business in front of their fans in Beaver Stadium on Saturday with a full team effort in all phases of the game. Penn State’s defense was automatic against Rutgers and the offense, despite playing with a backup quarterback for the majority of the game, ended up turning in a nice showing against the Scarlet Knights. And once again, Penn State had a reliable afternoon in the special teams department.

Things may have started slowly on offense, but the final box score looked pretty encouraging for the passing game while continuing to show some concerns on the ground. Fortunately for Penn State, Rutgers had no answers for the Penn State defense as the Nittany Lions celebrated a 28-0 victory to clinch a winning season.

Here’s a look at some of the key stats from the game.
