Rutgers lost its season opener for a second-straight season to Washington, but the score this time -- 30-14 -- at least offers some hope that the Scarlet Knights will be far more competitive in Chris Ash's second season. They certainly looked far improved in (almost) every facet of the game.
You knew within 10 minutes against this same Washington team last season that the Scarlet Knights were in for a long season. The Huskies lined up with four lightning-fast receivers, Rutgers couldn't cover any of them, and the score was 24-0 .
