Rutgers’ offense was scored points in the two wins they have gotten. They have even scored some points in a few losses, such as Minnesota and Indiana. In other games, they have not gone anywhere the entire game. In the games they did score, third downs were what lost them the game.
Getting off to a slow start is what has been killing this team this season. Going down 21-0 to a Michigan State team that has not won a conference game is not good. When you are playing in East Lansing it is even worse. Give a team that much momentum and cushion, you are in deep trouble.
