PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — There was hardly anyone left in the stands as the Rutgers band played the alma mater and the football players gathered in the end zone to celebrate a victory against Kansas on Saturday.
It was a ho-hum game against one of the worst teams in FBS, so it was hard to blame Scarlet Knights fans for being less than fired up about a 27-14 win.
But after all that has gone on with Rutgers football over the last month — the suspended coach, the suspended best offensive player, the six players dismissed after being arrested — anything to lighten the mood around the program was welcome.
