Rutgers Football: Offensive line preview

Keith Lumpkin's decision to return to Piscataway is a huge boost for the Rutgers offense.

Kyle Flood breathed a sigh of relief last winter when Keith Lumpkin opted to return to Piscataway.

The redshirt senior started all 13 games at left tackle for the past two seasons, covering the blind side for Gary Nova. With a new quarterback this season, he will be even more important. If Lumpkin had darted for the NFL, this preview would have a much different feel. But, to the glee of Rutgers Nation, he stayed.

After Lumpkin and Chris Muller, who has been the starting right guard for the past two years, no other lineman on the roster has starting experience.
