The Rutgers offense is vastly different from last season for many reasons. New coordinator Jerry Kill has incorporated a more flexible, personnel specific approach to the offense, rather than the rigid, spread system from a year ago. Six true freshman are listed on the two deep, as well as three graduate transfers that are starting at quarterback (Kyle Bolin), running back (Gus Edwards, and wide receiver (Damon Mitchell).
While the sample size is just one game, the offense did look improved last weekend against one of the best defenses in the country from 2016 in the Washington Huskies.
