The hunt for bowl eligibility will need to wait another week for Rutgers football. A strong first half defensively was not enough for the Scarlet Knights, who lost 28-0 at Penn State.
For Rutgers (5-6, 2-6 Big Ten), the loss stings but the Scarlet Knights head into their season finale next week against Maryland needing a win to be bowl eligible.
The Scarlet Knights struggled to move the ball offensively, although the defense was solid in the first half, limiting Penn State to just 120 yards of total offense and just a touchdown going into halftime.
Rutgers has not beaten Penn State since joining the Big Ten in 2014. The Nittany Lions are now 7-4 (4-4 Big Ten).
In order to be bowl eligible, Rutgers will need to beat Maryland at home next. Rutgers came into the game having won their last two Big Ten games on the road.
