It looks like Penn State will be playing the rest of Saturdayโs game against Minnesota without its starting right tackle.
On PSUโs first possession, Anthony Donkoh went down with an injury.
Donkohโs been carted off the field. Looks like Nolan Rucci will be Penn Stateโs No. 1 RT for the rest of the afternoon. https://t.co/Ao2W62Y0Xu

Not long after, CBS cameras captured him being carted off the field.
So it looks like Nolan Rucci will be Penn Stateโs starting right tackle for the rest of the afternoon. Rucci, whoโs father Todd was ย a letterman at Penn State, played his first three college seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to PSU over the winter. Rucci grew up in Lititz, Pennsylvaniaโ which is less than 130 miles away from State Collegeโ has gotten a lot of playing time for his hometown team despite not having a starting role. Heโs played in each of Penn Stateโs first 11 games and has gotten at least 20 snaps in half of them.
It looks like heโll be getting a lot more than 20 against Minnesota.
