Rutgers Football: 5 Surprises and 5 Disappointments of 2017

Related Topics: Big Ten Conference

In a previous article of mine, I noted that one of the reasons I continued to watch Rutgers Football in 2017 was that it couldn’t be any worse than 2016, right? 2-10 overall, 0-9 in the Big Ten, 0-5 on the road, a whopping 224-0 combined score against Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State. So while 2017 certainly was an improvement, I don’t think we can classify the 4-8 record as either a surprise or a disappointment, primarily because while most people (myself included) did not see the loss to Eastern Michigan coming, those same people likely did not think 3 Big Ten wins were in the cards for this team.
