Rutgers is in upstate New York to play the Orange from Syracuse in the first Big East conference game (wait, Johnny didn't check the sports pages today, is the Big East still a functioning conference this week?) for both teams.
Simply today, can Rutgers run the ball? If they can't all the bad vibes of playing in the Carrierdome come home to roost: rowdy crowds, obnoxious fans, girls with mustaches, and 'Cuse QB Ryan Nassib having success passing.
Again, a winnable game for the Scarlet Knights even against a team they have a horrid all-time record against. Today we start to find out what Rutgers is this season, a middling .500 club or a late December bowl team.
Until they lose we'll pick the second choice, always the optimists.
Fearless forecast:
Rutgers 27
Syracuse 24
