The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have reached the halfway point of the 2021 college football season. After bursting out of the gate and to climb to 3-0 against their non-conference opponents, the Knights have suffered 3 straight losses to some of the best teams in the Big Ten and the country. They now find themselves at 3-3.
If you’d asked most fans back in August whether they’d take being .500 in mid-October, with all 3 losses coming to top 10 opponents, the 2022 recruiting class holding firm with minimal defections, and incoming 4-star quarterback Gavin Wimsatt already a member of the team and suiting up on Saturdays, my guess is that the vast majority of those fans would have signed up then and there.
