Rutgers Football’s spring game postgame press conference was covered here, but let’s check back in with specifically what we were watching for.
The number one guy who flashed on the defensive line was Tijaun Mason. Even playing against the starting offensive line, they had a lot of trouble blocking him. It looked like more of a zone blocking scheme in pass protection at times, where the offensive line built a wall (more on that later), but anytime it was one on one with Mason he was tough to contain. Even on plays he didn’t get to the backfield, he dictated how the protection had to react.
