College football Week 5 picks, predictions: Illinois vs. Rutgers | Can the Scarlet Knights regain respectability in battle to avoid Big Ten basement?

Rutgers has lost four straight games, and coach Chris Ash says he has a pretty good understanding why his team has fallen on hard times after a season-opening triumph.

“Obviously we're on a streak that we've got to get stopped,’’ Ash said. “We've lost four in a row, and disappointed in it. In the last few weeks, it's gone from disappointment to frustration to a little bit of disbelief with some of the issues that we've had in the game that have prevented us from winning games.’’
