The Washington Huskies (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) will host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten) this evening in one of this weekend’s three Friday night games. If Washington wants to shine under a national spotlight, the Dawgs will have to disrupt Rutgers’ potentially lethal offense.
That could be easier said than done. Though they suffered consecutive losses to Iowa and Minnesota, Rutgers has put together a potent offensive attack through five games. Before last week’s bye, Scarlet Knights could be found all over the nation’s offensive leaderboards.
Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis (107/159 for 1,399 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions) ranked seventh nationally in passing yards before the bye.
