A closer look at how starting field position is killing Rutgers on both sides of the ball

November 9, 2006: Rutgers 28, Louisville 25. The Scarlet Knights had never beaten a team ranked as high as No. 3 in the country until this game. Now, as we near the 10-year anniversary of the greatest win in Rutgers Football history, we go behind the scenes and take you back to that memorable week.

Rutgers owns a 2-7 record in part because it is 2-7 in another area.

Just twice -- against Howard and New Mexico -- in nine games has Rutgers averaged better starting field position than its opponents. Not coincidentally, those are the two wins on the schedule.
