Rutgers football gameday!

Running. Ground game. Pound. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

Get ready for it today in Piscataway. Rutgers is going to run. Navy pretty much does nothing BUT run. It's awful windy today here in the Garden State. Even more running. Rutgers has a freshman QB which will most likely mean, you guessed it, more running.

Rutgers kicks off today at 2 pm in Piscataway in a non-Big East game that should give Greg Schiano some time to work on a few things before heading into conference play the rest of the way. The Scarlet Knights come into play today with a 4-1 record while the Naval Academy sports a 2-3 ledger.

Rutgers must without doubt stop the Navy ground attack. It's that crazy triple option that can hurt you in a few ways. If the Midshipmen have success running early it will only fuel that attack. It seems when this style of offense is on it's unstoppable, when it's stopped up it can last the whole afternoon long.

Freshman Rutgers QB Gary Nova has had quite a time so far this season. Making pretty good decisions and posting very high QB ratings. They will need him to be sharp today especially is passing become more that a flight of fancy. We'd just as soon throw bubble screens to Mohamed Sanu all day and call THAT the passing attack. Long handoffs if you will. On a windy day trying to get to 5-1 why take chances?

Fearless forecast
Rutgers 31
Navy 21
