This was disgraceful. Pitiful. Embarrassing. Both of these teams were 2-7, 0-6 coming into this game. The results would make one think that the Spartans are still ranked. Michigan State rallied up over 400 yards of offense against Rutgers, nearly 300 of them on the ground.
The keys to the game for Rutgers was to control time of possession through their run game and to win the turnover battle. They most certainly did not do either of those two. Giovanni Rescigno threw two interceptions. Rutgers only ran for 109 yards despite Robert Martin’s return.
The Scarlet Knight secondary does not know how to play their position and the front seven cannot seem to tackle or plug up holes to stop the opposition from reaching the second level.
