The Rutgers offense showed major improvement in the season opening 38-27 victory over Michigan State on Saturday. After scoring just six touchdowns in nine conference games last season, they almost equaled that total against the Spartans with five. Having a defense and special teams that produced seven takeaways certainly helped the offense with such a high scoring output. It led to five touchdowns in the game for Rutgers, just one shy from what the offense produced in total in NINE Big Ten games last season. The offense was able to execute in key spots and played a big role in clinching the victory down the stretch.
