With Army on the plate, Rutgers will have to prep to face another option attack. USA Today has a decent writeup concerning their season up this point.
If I weren’t doing all in my power to not hype a certain player, in the futile hope that he will stay for his senior season, I would take issue with this and similar sentiments:
Brett (Washington, DC): What about Kenny Britt from Rutgers for Player of the Year? He has numbers comparable to Michael Crabtree and doesn’t play in the same all-pass offense that TexasTech runs.
Brian Bennett: He’s got an outside chance, especially the way he’s been playing of late. Problem is you have to judge a player on the entire season, and he and his team weren’t as strong early.
89 yards vs. Fresno State wasn’t as strong? 109 vs. UNC? Maybe it’s just me, but Mike Teel was kind of having the worst quarterback season in recent memory until three weeks ago. What has changed is that Teel and Underwood are playing effective football, and the running game is getting going again. He’s been utterly dominant all year, considering context. I’m not trying to single out any one in particular with this sentiment, because I’ve seen it all over the place. Of course, that’s an argument that I’d only make if there was an elite junior receiver on the Rutgers offense. Which there isn’t. I swear.
The Rutgers men won’t be the only team welcoming players back from suspension early when Robert Morris visits the RAC on Friday.
The RU women beat Princeton 83-35.
In response to Adam Zagoria’s recent story on Bobby Gonzalez, Jerry Carino shared his thoughts on the situation (which are critical of Zagoria’s decision to run the article, and journalistic standards on the web in general).
