Rutgers vs. Illinois Preview and a Bit of a Bye-Week Roundup

Image
scarletknights.com After two-weeks to work on fundamentals, get a bit healthier, and prepare for Saturday's showdown with the University of Illinois Fighting Illini , Rutgers finally gets the chance to go back to showing the improvement that we saw at the start of the season. Coach Ash said that the staff "took a hard look at all three phases." The Scarlet Knights head into the contest at Memorial Stadium in Champaign to face what appears to be the most beatable opponent on the remaining schedule. Saying the Illini are beatable and then going to their home field and doing that are two different things. Like Rutgers , the Fighting Illini have recently been embroiled in a quarterback controversy. Sophomore Jeff George, Jr., just wrested the job from junior Chayce Crouch. George gives the Illini a QB with a very strong arm who can sling the ball downfield, much like his father. However, in the small sample of his play, he's also been prone to interceptions...

Gio Rescigno to Start vs. Illinois According to Sources

Giovanni Rescigno (scarletknights.com) Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media is reporting that "multiple sources" have told them that Giovanni Rescigno will get the nod as Rutgers' primary quarterback today. Johnathan Lewis could potentially start the first series, and is likely to have an expanded role, but that Rescigno will be the primary QB. Check out his article here. I have a few thoughts about this. The first is that it makes sense because it confirms the reports that Gio was getting more reps during this past week of practice. Second, it could be that the Rutgers sources are trying to throw the media off and that Lewis will actually play more reps. And third, on the chance that Rutgers opens the game with Lewis at quarterback with the intent to play Rescigno the most, those plans could change if Lewis were to drive the ball down the field on the Scarlet Knights' first drive. Should be interesting game. Go Knights!

Thoughts on Rutgers vs. Nebraska

Image
The Nebraska game has been in the books for almost a week now, with the Scarlet Knights having come out on the wrong end of the 27-17 score. This was a strange game to watch. Going into the game, I felt it would be a winnable contest, especially with Nebraska program seemingly reeling from its 1-2 start. On the other side of the equation was the reality of an equally struggling Rutgers team taking a fairly young roster on the road in front of 80,000 Cornhuskers fans desperate for a win. Then you have to add in that Rutgers would be without Janarion Grant, the team's top playmaker. As a Scarlet Knights fan it was frustrating to watch in the sense that the win was there for the taking, but Rutgers was unable to connect on enough plays to win the day. The Scarlet Knights simply didn't score enough to win the game, or make enough first downs to keep the Nebraska offense off the field in the second half and give the defense a rest. In addition, it seemed Rutgers shot themselves ...
