PISCATAWAY When its opponent rushes for less than 100 yards, Rutgers is 14-6 in four seasons under coach Kyle Flood and 50-16 since 2000.
As expected, the odds of winning increase when Rutgers opponents rush for fewer than 50 yards (25-3 since 2000) and decrease when opponents reach 100 or more (11-13 under Flood).
In that case, last season’s game against Indiana is the ultimate outlier, with Rutgers earning a 22-point victory despite allowing a record-setting 307 rushing yards to halfback Tevin Coleman.
If Tevin Coleman is the proverbial red gumball, what is Jordan Howard?
