Rutgers won two games in Chris Ash's first season as head coach. Four victories followed in his second season.
Can the Scarlet Knights keep the trend going in Year No. 3 and get to 6-6, earning the bowl invitation that comes with such a finish? That's the big question.
Ash, for one, has made it clear he expects Rutgers to get there.
"Year 3, with so many guys coming back, hopefully we can take that next step and win a few more games and get to postseason play," Ash said during spring practice.
