The Rutgers Scarlet Knights began the 2011 college football season last night at Rutgers Stadium (again, we don't play corporate name games) in front of 40,000 plus Scarlet Knight fans with an impressive (for the competition) 48-0 trashing of North Carolina Central. The defense set the pace for Rutgers, overwhelming the NC Central offensive line with NINE sacks and limiting the Eagles to 8 yards rushing on 30 carries. The offense was so-so for such a blowout and Rutgers will have to improve as next week it's a REAL North Carolina team, the Tar Heels whom Rutgers visits next Saturday. Still, 1-0 ain't chopped liver.
Now, Johnny's team, the Michigan State Spartans, wait, the Defending Big Ten Champion Michigan State Spartans kick off against an equal patsy in the Youngstown State Penguins at Spartan Stadium at 7:30. While 11-2 again this year looks difficult given the MSU schedule, Mark Dantonio is building a gangbusters program in East Lansing.
As he does every season, Johnny now plays one of his favorite MSU video clips to ward off bad luck and evil Badger, Buckeye, Wolverine and now Cornhusker spirits:
And let's spin that 'S' one time shall we?
