Let's not waste any time getting to the point here: If Rutgers can't beat Kansas, there is no shot that the Scarlet Knights are going to take a meaningful step forward in their third step under Chris Ash.
If Rutgers can't beat a program that is, without question, the worst in a Power 5 conference, there is no hope that this team recovers against a brutal schedule and wins the needed six games to reach a bowl.
But this is about more than a late-December trip to Fort Worth.
