As Penn State blasts Rutgers again, Schiano spins his wheels chasing Franklin and B1G East heavyweights | Jones

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Adam Korsak set an NCAA record on Saturday for Rutgers. He’s the most impactful player on the Scarlet Knights’ roster and his value is not lost on NFL player personnel types. The Aussie import is headed for a choice possibly as early as the second day and certainly by the 5th or 6th round. The record? During the Scarlet Knights’ game against Penn State, Korsak set a new NCAA mark for career punting yards. That’s nice for him. But it’s probably not a great indicator for his program. © JOE HERMITT/pennlive.com/TNS Penn State head coach James Franklin and Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano meet before the game on Nov. 19, 2022.

Along with performing her new single for the first time live at the American Music Awards, Pink was asked to pay tribute to the Olivia, who passed away earlier this year.
