Without question, the unit that has performed the best through four games of the 2017 season is the Rutgers defense. After showing signs of being improved last season, which followed three of the worst statistical defensive campaigns in program history, the unit has shown even more progress so far. The sample size has been small, but the defense has cut down their touchdowns allowed from twelve through four games last season to just six this season. The six includes the gift wrapped, four yard, one play drive by Nebraska after the special teams unit surrendered a 63 yard punt return near the end of the first half last weekend.
