Rutgers quarterback Kyle Bolin averaged just 7.4 yards per completion as veteran offensive coordinator Jerry Kill played keepaway from explosive Washington.
Even Kill admitted that he can't remember being on the losing end of a game where his team so thoroughly dominated time of possession (38 minutes) and offensive snaps (77-54). Against Eastern Michigan, those stats are less important than an ability to put up points.
But savvy Washington quarterback Jake Browning mostly avoided the big loss -- except when he took a crunching forced fumble sack from Darnell Davis -- by throwing the ball away at the last second or smart checkdowns to running backs and tight ends.
