Rutgers football gameday!

Again we'll be brief this week. Rutgers shouldn't find Florida International too tough a nut to crack BUT, the Golden Panthers DID give Alabama a tussle at least for a little while last weekend. You can't sleep on them but drowsy may work. Small school Florida teams do seem to bring kids with speed to burn so again, Rutgers needs to guard against overconfidence. Another thing to lok out for is that hey say (Who is they?) a team improves the most between their first game and second game, and this will be FIU's second game.

Expect heavy doses of breakout running back Jourdan Brooks and old faithful Joe Martinek. If Rutgers can establish the run early it'll make freshman QB Tom Savage's much easier. He only had to throw 13 times last week and Johnny thinks he'll have to throw at least 20-25 times today. We're thinking Mohamed Sanu is gonna have a huge day if needed.

Again, don't get too overconfident but it should be a good day for football in Rutgersland. Kickoff is 5 pm in Piscataway.

Our Prediction:
Rutgers 31
FIU 20
