2016 Rutgers Football // Get Ready for Some Offense

If you've been living under a rock recently, the new Rutgers staff is installing a completely new offense built on speed and efficiency.

Drew Mehringer is leaving the boring Rutgers offense in 2015 and has promised to bring excitement to "The Banks" for all fans to experience.

The last time Rutgers had an explosive offense was in 2007. That offense was statistically one of the best in college football history. In fact, they were the only team in NCAAF history to have a 3,000 yard passer, 2,000 yard rusher, and two 1,000 yard receivers. The numbers are pretty insane:

  • QB Mike Teel: 3,147 yards, 20 TD
  • HB Ray Rice: 2,012 yards, 24 TD
  • WR Tiquan Underwood: 65 catches, 1,100 yards, 7 TD
  • WR Kenny Britt: 62 catches, 1,232 yards, 8 TD

While replicating those numbers isn't likely, it is not unreasonable to expect a 2,500 yard passer, two 1,000 yard rushers, and a 1,000 yard receiver.
