It didn’t take long for Chris Ash and his coaching staff to see their honeymoon end once the season started. In fact, it took less than one quarter of football, as Rutgers was shell shocked down 24-0 with 48 seconds remaining in the opening frame against Washington. After watching the Rutgers defense surrender big plays through the air the previous three seasons, it was deja vu all over again last Saturday. Washington scored on passing plays of 38, 43, and 50 yards on their three opening drives of the game. They attacked and beat a different defender each time, first linebacker Andre Hunt, then cornerback Isaiah Wharton, and lastly, safety Saquan Hampton.
