Chris Ash's second season at Rutgers ended with a different offensive coordinator, a different starting quarterback, a different collection of wide receivers and a completely different offensive system. But the results?
Those were actually worse.
This is not an exaggeration, either. The Scarlet Knights came into its season finale against Michigan State needing 324 yards and 20 points just to match the total output against FBS teams last season by an offense that was ranked 127th nationally in points scored.
Spoiler alert: They didn't get there.
Rutgers lost to the Spartans, 40-7, on Saturday night, and the offensive numbers for the game were what fans who follow this team should have come to expect.
