The Penn State Nittany Lions take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. It's the final home game of the 2023 season and the last chance for Penn State to play well in front of its fans. We're looking at the five things that will help get the team, especially the offense, back on track against their opponent this weekend.

The BWI Live Show will tackle the team's biggest issues, including the inconsistent passing game, maximizing the team's advantages in the trenches against Rutgers, and cracking another tough coverage scheme. We'll also look at two factors that will affect the game for the Penn State defense, including Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai.

Penn State run defense on third down
If there's been one consistent and alarming flaw in the Penn State defense, it's the third and long run defense. The team's Prowler Package has been susceptible to giving up third downs on the ground in obvious passing situations. We'll discuss how this is a problem and not what you think when you examine the full information set. We'll explain how defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is taking a risk with Chop Robinson, Dani Dennis-Sutton and Adisa Isaac on the field simultaneously.

Next, we'll look at the Penn State passing attack, and how it might get out of the mud it's been wallowing in for most of the season. While it won't be eclectic, there are some efficiency changes for this game, and the rest of the year that it can make to take advantage of situations, formations, and schemes. We'll discuss how Penn State can take the pressure off of Drew Allar and how they can attack the Rutgers linebackers.

Finally, we'll discuss how the team can run at Rutgers to maximize its chances of getting positive runs with Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton.
