The long Rutgers nightmare to start the season may be ending. The Scarlet Knights (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) started the first half of the season running the gauntlet through some behemoths, emerging battered and bruised from a 153-0 dismantling at the hands of Ohio State and Michigan. The Scarlet Knights currently sit in last place in the Big Ten East Division. Is the season over? No, it’s just beginning, with B1G Western Division cellar dweller Illinois coming to High Point Solutions Stadium for RU’s homecoming (Noon ET, ESPNews).
As cliché as former head coach Kyle Flood’s “1-0” mantra seemed, each week in a college football season really does take on a life of its own.
