Rutgers football opened the 2018 season with a 35-7 triumph over Texas State on Saturday afternoon. There were some obvious signs of improvement and a few areas that still need some work. Overall, it was a solid result and this team produced when needed, as the issue was never in doubt. Here are some quick takeaways from today’s victory.
