Why Chris Ash believes Rutgers is 'step or two away' from 'some great things'

Rutgers didn't beat Northwestern, but it did put together its best performance in weeks en route to the close loss.

Head coach Chris Ash saw a foundation to build off of after watching the film.

"I think we did a lot of good things in the game," Ash said Tuesday on the Big Ten coaches teleconference. "We're just a step or two away from doing, in my opinion, some great things. Unfortunately, we're still a step or two away, an inch away from getting that done."

The Scarlet Knights took a lead into the fourth quarter before the Wildcats rallied for an 18-15 win.
