CollegeFootballNews: Rutgers Schedule Breakdown & Predictions

Best Case Scenario

6-6: Greg Schiano’s team wins two of the first three games, getting by Monmouth and splitting between Syracuse at home or down the road at Temple. There’s no beating Ohio State, but the Scarlet Knights win two of the three games against Illinois, at Purdue and Indiana to provide a little bit of hope for a six-win season. Forget about the finishing kick and the final three games, but they come up with something special to stun Nebraska in Piscataway, and Maryland is 2018 Maryland again and doesn’t have it at home.

Worst Case Scenario

1-11: There’s Monmouth, and that’s it. Even though the Scarlet Knights miss Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin from the West, it doesn’t matter. They lose to Syracuse and at Temple, and they can’t pull off a home win over Illinois, Indiana or Nebraska. There’s no hope against Ohio State on the road, and even with a week off to gear up for the last three weeks, they get rolled by Michigan, at Michigan State and Penn State.

The Athletic: Rutgers got its man in Greg Schiano, but getting right is a multi-season project

Lost in the shuffle of an unprecedented and chaotic college football offseason is a major storyline that, in normal times, would have gotten a great deal more national attention: Greg Schiano is back at Rutgers. It’s a sentence some Scarlet Knights fans have wanted to read for years. It’s something a number of prominent figures, including key boosters and former player Eric LeGrand, fought to make happen last December, when negotiations between Schiano and the school initially broke down. Eventually, it became a reality, with Schiano introduced as the new head football coach back on December 4, 2019. “I’m grateful for this opportunity, especially being back here,” Schiano told The Athletic in February. “We did something special here, and I think that lends some credibility. It’s not just words. We’ve still got to do it again. But it’s still better than having not done it, that’s for sure.”

I expect them to be much improved with Schiano at the helm but I’m not sure he can wipe away the Rutgers stink in year 1
