It has been almost seven weeks since the Scarlet Knights squared off with Nebraska during Championship Week in Piscataway. It was a 28-21 loss for Rutgers that gave them a 3-6 record to end the season.
This may not sound like a season that had fans doing backflips. Let’s take a closer look. Rutgers’ three wins this season matched their total from the previous two seasons, none of which came in Big Ten play. Long story short, Greg Schiano has the Scarlet Knights trending upwards and that was visible on the field. And it continued in the recruiting game.
