The #WarBeforeTheShore brought with it quite a good fight from our Rutgers soldiers this past Friday evening, but despite a mighty effort, the Scarlet Knights fell to a stronger, more experienced opponent. The Huskies began to take back the fight in the second quarter, with victory declared 30-14 in favor of Washington. A lot has been said about the Scarlet Knights much-improved performance on all sides of the ball, particularly after a weak showing in 2016. While many will say the turning point in the game was OC Jerry Kill’s decision to punt on 4th and 1 in the 3rd quarter, there were a few key mistakes on Special Teams that ultimately allowed Washington to take a 16 point lead.
