Chris Ash made it clear this spring he believes Rutgers is capable of getting to a bowl game in 2018, and that will be the goal his team sets for itself.
It's a realistic goal, given the way the schedule falls. Rutgers should be either favored or no more than a touchdown underdog in six games, and it needs six wins for bowl eligibility. But if Rutgers doesn't win all those games, it will need to find victories elsewhere. Which brings up another key question: Can the Scarlet Knights cause some noise in the regular season and finally cut down one of the Big Ten's traditional powers?
