After a 49-27 loss to a very talented Ohio State team, which looked like Rutgers could compete in the second half for the first time in forever, I’m here for a crazy hot take. Maybe you’ll wonder if I’ve lost my mind. Maybe I’ve consumed too much of the Rutgers football Kool-Aid. But from what I’ve seen so far this season, what I’m about to write is plausible – not likely, but plausible. Again, this is an attempt at wishful thinking, but what the heck.
What I’m here to say is after playing two of the top ten teams in the nation closer than most predicted, Rutgers football has a puncher’s chance of winning out the rest of the regular season.
