Previewing Week 7: The Rutgers Scarlet Knights

After a wild first few weeks of the 2023 season, Michigan State finally got a chance to exhale during Week 6. With the bye week out of the way, all attention can now focus on this week’s opponent - Rutgers.

The luckiest athletic department in the saga of conference realignment, Rutgers is finally looking better than their reputation as a Big Ten doormat would show. The Scarlet Knights sit 4-2, and Greg Schiano has outlasted Mel Tucker, earning the (entirely made up) golden axe as the only program in the conference that can use “Keep Chopping” as motivation.
