With #Illinutgers right around the corner, we spoke with On The Banks’ managing editor Aaron Breitman to preview the Knights.
1. Entering 2018, Rutgers saw a two-win improvement from 2016-17. What was the expectation coming into 2018 and has the 1-4 start created any trepidation regarding Chris Ash?
Expectations were set by Ash himself, who declared that the program was on schedule entering his third season and that making a bowl game was the goal for the 2018 campaign. The way the season has played out would have been looked at as a disaster regardless, but I think Ash setting such high expectations has made fans angrier and less patient.
