Miami/USC?

There are a few teams I know and Rutgers is who I know the best.

I’m an RU alum Class of 00. A fitting year for a football team that never wins.

Maryland comes to toen for the Pillowfight in Piscataway licking their wounds after a 59-0 loss to Penn State in front if a sellout crowd at home in a Friday Night Lights game, not good.

Rutgers on the other hand has fired Coach Blockhead and the OC to elevate Nunzio Campanile to interim head coach and this start the coaching carousel that is Rutgers again. Campanile is a former decorated high school coach who has the backing of some if the states best football factories. He won the press conference and seems to be a mensch.

That is where his story ends. He is no match for Mike Locksley and a high powered Maryland offense.

To further the narrative, Rutgers is lead on defense by DC Andy Buh. Formerly the Maryland DC. Buh was so bad in game one that he didn’t last one half making defensive calls AGAINST UMASS. Dearly departed Coach Blockhead took over defensive play calling  when RU went down 21-7 in the first half. They were bailed out that day by Texas Tech transfer QB McLane Carter. Carter however remains out with a concussion.

Backup QB Art Sitkowski has asked to sit to maintain his redshirt. So in steps, Coach Nunzio’s Bergen Catholic QB Johnny Langan who specializes in RPO schemes bc he can’t throw. He was actually asked by Boston College to switch to TE before transferring to RU.

Let’s recap, Rutgers has the former fired Maryland DC who hasn’t proved he can call the schemes, a third string qb who can’t throw, and a high school Coach.

As bad as Maryland was last week and as bad as Josh Jackson has been, is, and always will be. They still aren’t Rutgers.

Maryland -12.5 is a layup, don’t blow the bunny!
