Rutgers has its best offense in nearly two decades, but its offense could be the worst in the Big Ten since the turn of the century.
That’s why the Scarlet Knights have both won five games and lost five games this season, according to Brian Fonseca, who covers Rutgers for NJ Advance Media (NJ.com and The Star-Ledger).
In our Q&A with Fonseca, the Rutgers beat writer explains what’s gone right on offense and what’s gone wrong on defense – particularly against the run – as well as why Greg Schiano’s job isn’t in any jeopardy yet, what must happen for the Scarlet Knights to become a Big Ten contender and why he expects a “respectable” final score on Saturday even though he doesn’t expect Rutgers to contend for a win.
