So I suppose a lot of folks figure that players generally read what the media says, and that Rutgers was going to individually bow to each UW player and coach, then lay down and let the Huskies roll all over them from the opening snap. Then, of course, crown them on their way out of Piscataway.
This was a game between two Power 5 schools, and while Rutgers may be lousy again this year, it’s not going to be because they are 100% void of talent and coaching. A few injuries to this Scarlet Knights team could be devastating with their lack of depth, but as of Friday night, they were healthy and Chris Ash had a very well thought out “Don’t get clobbered in front of the home crowd” game plan.
