Five Thoughts After Rutgers First Win Of The Season

Chris Ash’s home debut at Rutgers did not go exactly as planned. After a terrible start that put Rutgers down 14-0 early in the first quarter, the team fought back to go into halftime tied, but still were making too many mistakes. However, after the half Rutgers finally dominated Howard the way we all hoped they would from the opening kick. They won going away with a 38-0 second half score, which included over 300 yards rushing and holding Howard to 5 total yards in that frame. With Rutgers winning 52-14 and delivering Ash’s first victory as head coach of the program, here are five thoughts I have as the team turns the page to week 3 and New Mexico.
