Rutgers gets off the mat once again in 35-20 win over Maryland Nov 09, 2025

Show notes

Greg Schiano proves he is a master motivator in leading the Scarlet Knights to a must win over the Terps on Saturday. Complimentary football was the key as Antwan Raymond had a career day, the offense scored four touchdowns in the red zone and the defense made key stops in the second half. RU is now 5-5 overall and bowl hopes remain alive. The floor and ceiling conversation for the program included.#rutgersfootball

Rutgers rolls Rider 81-53 as small backcourt shines Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

Tariq Francis and Jamichael Davis opened the season with efficient offensive performances while Dylan Grant was solid inside as Rutgers defeated the Broncs. The Scarlet Knights shot well from three and held Rider to just 28% shooting. However, a poor shooting night overall and no offensive output inside raises concerns as to whether Rutgers is built to win in Big Ten play.

After Rutgers' 35-13 loss to Illinois, it's fair to wonder if Greg Schiano can get momentum back Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

The Scarlet Knights continue to make the same mistakes and allow big play after big play. The defensive coaching staff has failed miserably and it's on Schiano to fix it. The offense has regressed as well. With a chance to get momentum back against Maryland this week, if Rutgers can't it's fair to wonder if Schiano will be able to bounce back this season and beyond.#rutgersfootball

Rutgers survives Purdue 27-24 giving a little hope to another November surge Oct 26, 2025

Show notes

The Scarlet Knights overcame a 10-0 first half deficit to pull out a much needed first Big Ten victory on the road at Purdue. The passing game thrived, the defense got the big turnover late and Jai Patel sang his redemption song. However, there were plenty of struggles against a team that has lost 14 straight games in conference play. Is a repeat of last November possible or just a pipe dream?#rutgersfootball
