Rutgers vs. Howard prediction​

Rutgers should win this game easily. Key word there is "should." Given the way this season has gone, nothing is a given.

49-13 Rutgers according to him.

Lol at some of these scores saying Howard 10. Howard will have 14 before the end of the first quarter.

Howard 35
RU 21

Kelli Zinn remembered for not firing Schiano immediately after the UMass embarrassment, and somehow causing us even more national embarrassment.

So your premise is that if she had fired Schiano after Umass we would have an interim HC in place that, in 2 weeks, would have turned the team around, improved our D and improved our QB play?

Howard is a bottom 10-20% FCS team but even with that they will score at least 14 on us which is nuts. But we will score a lot.

49-14 win

The run game has looked “normal” in the 2 games since UMass. With a typical, even mediocre, run game there’s no chance of a loss in games like this. UMass did what they did because we couldn’t run.

I hate to say it but even though we win- it will be embarrassing as it most likely will be something like 35-17

As always, I reserve the right to modify my prediction as we get closer to game time.

Rutgers 41, Howard 3. Howard +41.5, Under 56.5

In their last two games (28-21 loss to Richmond, 55-0 loss to Indiana), QB Ja'Shawn Scroggins has completed 17 passes in 43 attempts (39.5%) for 152 yards with 1 TD and 2 Ints. Two years ago in an opening loss to 44-7 RU, he was 14-25 116 yards 0-1 while adding 12 carries for 67 yards and Howard's leading rusher. Howard is ranked #115 (out of 124) in total offense at the FCS level. Giving up 2 defensive TDs (meaning drives starting in their own territory rather than an RU gift) is an outright failure. RU should even be able to convert a 4th and 1 rushing attempt (1 for 5 this year and 1 for 1 from 2 yards with both conversions against UMass).
