Rutgers Quarterback Evan Simon: Deep Analysis vs Temple (Part 1)

Filed under:

The performance on the re-watch under the circumstances provides some answers, but new questions emerge.

Despite the pressure, Simon’s number one goal was to stay on the field Saturday.

Rutgers beat Temple 16-14 in Philadelphia on Saturday. The victory leaves the Scarlet Knights 3-0 heading into Big Ten play which everyone associated with the program would have signed up for heading into the 2022 campaign. Even if Johnny Langan scored a touchdown in the final minute rather than sliding down at the one yard line (hint-hint Cleveland Browns) for a likely 23-14 victory which looks better on paper, the same group of people would have all the same questions about whether the Knights have enough of a threat in the pass game to win a 2022 Big Ten game, hopefully several games.
