There was a lot to like in the 45-13 win over Delaware on Saturday. The most obvious was how Rutgers came out ready to play and put a nationally ranked FCS team on their heels right away. Credit the coaching staff for having the Scarlet Knights playing with urgency and purpose from the outset of the game. It’s also what made it so surprising that the Rutgers defense saw its biggest weakness from last season flare up for the first time this fall.
The Blue Hens rattled off runs of 19 yards, 23 yards and 72 yards on their way to amassing 162 total yards rushing in the game.
