PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Rutgers lost to Penn State on Saturday night, 39-0.
The loss was the eighth straight for Rutgers.
Penn State led 9-0 at the half and the story was Davis and the Nittany Lions defense, which limited Rutgers to 66 yards on 27 plays.
Place kicker Tyler Davis hit from 32, 34 and 40 yards, the first two into a stiff wind. He added a 32-yarder early in the second half to push the lead to 19-0.
The defense set the tone for the game after Penn State return man Miles Sanders muffed the opening kickoff and Rutgers recovered at the 19. Three plays lost seven yards and David Bonagura was wide right on a 45-yard field goal attempt.
