I have watched Rutgers play 4 of their games, they are not great but they are certainly better than Syracuse. They play harder, smarter, and are more athletic. The only speculative thing in that statement is harder. They beat USF and Ark on the road, ( not great road wins but road wins regardless) we would be high fiving and on a 2 week bender if our D was playing this well. The dancing nancies here would be calling Shafer a genius and pining for a life long contract. If you read my original post, I said that we can win but we need to play well. Rutgers has a ton of athleticism at WR as well. If we play like we did versus Pitt we lose by 14. Rutgers is much better this year than we they were last year. I think you may be in for a rude awakening Saturday, if you think Syracuse can play a ho hum game and keep it close. Their defense is by far the best we have faced and their special teams raise hell. As I said, take the blinders off, I said we could win but we will need to play very well.
 
A lot of people here don't watch college football, I am amazed by that, again not saying we can't win but Rutgers is favored by 7.5 for a reason because on paper they are the better team, regardless of what some say here.
