The aerial view of Beaver Stadium from whoever sponsors the blimpage should be very cool on Saturday night, as our mighty Penn State Nittany Lions (1-1, 0-0 Big Ten) host the Rutgers Criminals Scarlet Knights (1-1, 0-0 Big Ten) in a prime time Big Ten Conference match-up. A stripe-out has been declared! Yay! (Sorry about the sarcasm — what did you expect?)
