The Nittany Lions' offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 17 points in the first half. RU wasn't quite able to keep up, and the score was 17 to nothing heading into the break. Penn State coasted a bit in the second half, relying primarily on their first half lead, but they still walked away with the win.
No one had a standout game offensively for Penn State, but they got scores from RB Devyn Ford and WR Parker Washington. More help came courtesy of LB Jesse Luketa, who was good for nine tackles.
Like the Nittany Lions, the Scarlet Knights didn't have any clear offensive standouts, but WR Bo Melton led the way with one touchdown.
Penn State's win brought them up to 2-5. RU's overall record fell to an identical 2-5.
