After getting off to a slow start in the non-conference schedule, Isaih Pacheco reminded everyone why he is one of elite running backs in the Big Ten with a strong performance against Michigan in Rutgers’ 20-13 defeat in Ann Arbor last Saturday.
The resurgence of Pacheco, who carried the rock 20 times for 107 yards against the Wolverines and added two receptions for 14 yards, was one of the major bright spots for the Scarlet Knights in the loss.
Pacheco was especially effective in the second half, as he ripped off runs of 16, 26 and 19 yards, helping the Scarlet Knights claw back from a 20-3 halftime deficit.
