The 21-7 loss to Northwestern last Saturday was especially painful because it signaled the reality of the situation for Rutgers football. My biggest concern about this team coming into the season was a lack of depth overall and that issue is really being exposed right now. There are injuries keeping players on the two deep out of games and there are injuries that players are gutting out but it’s taking a toll in their ability to perform to their potential. Thise who are playing hurt should be commended for doing so. The bigger issue is the lack of options to replace them that wouldn’t result in a significant drop off.
