Rutgers stunned Michigan State for a 38-27 victory on Saturday to open the 2020 season and mark the triumphant return of Greg Schiano as head coach. Our contributors took time away from celebrating to put into words what this win meant for the program, the players, and the fans.
Fred Gaudios: If I can go rapid fire for this one: (1) Wow. Just… wow. It’s not that Rutgers won this game, it’s how they won this game. They seemed better prepared, more disciplined, more fired-up, willing to face adversity. (2) The dime from Vedral to Shameen Jones in the fourth quarter for a TD was the best throw I’ve seen from Rutgers since the Gary Nova era.
