Penn State’s performance at Rutgers on Friday night was another impressively steady show. It was one that resulted in a nine-bout winning streak from 133 through heavyweight and included four technical falls on the way to a 35-3 victory in front of a sold-out (8,057) Jersey Mike’s Arena crowd in Piscataway, New Jersey.

The Penn State Nittany Lions move to 9-0 with an impressive Big Ten victory over Rutgers as showdown with No. 2 Iowa looms.

Of course, there are still gaping holes on this team, notably at wide receiver and with a defensive coordinator who still needs to be hired to replace Tom Allen.
