In 1966, Rutgers compiled 1,372 passing yards during its 5-4 campaign. The 152.4 passing-yards-per-game average was a program record at the time.
In 2017, Rutgers totaled 1,387 passing yards en route to a 4-8 finish.
It's not a program record for futility, but it's the worse since Ronald Reagan was president.
Not only is it the lowest passing-yards total since 1987, the 115.6 passing-yards-per-game is the worst average since 1981.
Rutgers ranked last in the Big Ten by a wide margin -- Minnesota was the next closest with 1,513 passing yards -- and ranked 125th out of 130 teams nationally.
