This year is about progress, but I don't think Rutgers will get more than 4 wins. I hope I'm wrong. With the exception of Ohio State, though, I think Rutgers can hang with these teams much better than last year. I think they can beat the 27 point spread vs UW.

Main concerns I have is about depth as injuries start to mount and the first lines will need rest. I think Rutgers will keep it close in most games and then just run out of steam in the 2nd half. Mostly upper classmen in the 2 deep, I believe, except WR. All of the transfers were pluses for Rutgers. We should see a much better offense with Bolin, Edwards, Grant, and the young WR's.

The schedule is just too tough this year, but I think this team is really set up well to get back to at least 6 or 7 games in 2018.

As with other years, I'll update as the season moves along. Let's hear your prediction!

Even though the game is @ Illinois, it is winnable for y'all. Having watched some of the games last night (vs Washington), I was impressed with how well Rutgers did. This team isn't just going to roll over. They will be in games with Maryland and maybe Michigan State with a chance to win. We shall see what Indiana does. They look to be pretty good (1st half vs Ohio State). Rutgers can go bowling if things fall right but 4 wins isn't outrageous (I have my Terps at 4 wins). Wish y'all the best of luck this season.
