The Search For Respect For Rutgers Football Starts With Beating Eastern Michigan

While I was hopeful that Rutgers would perform well in their season opener against a top ten team in Washington, the game on the schedule that always seemed more critical was week two against Eastern Michigan. Beating Washington would have been a major upset and while Rutgers had their chances to win the game, they also demonstrated major improvement from last season. However, it was just one game, and a loss at that. In order to continue to push the needle forward from a progress and respect standpoint, Rutgers must take care of business this weekend against a bowl team from last season hailing from the gritty MAC conference.
