Rutgers' offense ranks 117th nationally in yards produced and 108th nationally in scoring average (21.8) out of 129 FBS teams. There are plenty of reasons for that anemic production, but the passing attack has to be considered chief among them.
One year after ranking 122nd in passing offense with Chris Laviano and Gio Rescigno sharing the starting role, Rutgers ranks 119th nationally (149.2 yards-per-game) through five weeks.
Kyle Bolin ranks 114th nationally in passing efficiency (98.1), and is one of only six quarterbacks in the country with a minimum 15 attempts per game to have a sub-100 number.
