As an emotional Rutgers offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer tried to make sense of how Rutgers lost by 17 points after out-gaining and picking up twice as many first downs as Illinois, he pointed to a wall on the team meeting room in the Hale Center.
One of several boards on the wall lists Rutgers' four points of a plan to win: 1) Play great defense/score points; 2) Win the turnover/takeaway battle 3) Win critical situations 4) Win the kicking game.
Let's review how each of those bulletpoints failed Rutgers when other things went right.
