Message: [QUOTE="Fjoinkay, post: 374809, member: 604"] Looking just at UConn v. Rutgers what pops out at me is the fact that Rutgers forced 5 turnovers and ended up with 280 yards of total offense and 19 points. This says to me that UConn's defense is very good and Rutgers offense is a work in progress. Both teams had 17 first downs. Rutgers fumbled 3 times but only lost the ball once. If SU forced 5 turnovers and had these numbers this board would be in full meltdown mode despite the win and a 5-0 record. Rutgers is a good football team, and it should be the favorite at home. Is Rutgers' defense better than Pitt's or USC's? I'm not so sure. Is Rutgers' offense better than NW's or USC's or Pitt's? I'm not so sure. Obviously, SU needs to play a very good game against this team to win, and SU is very capable of doing that. Hopefully the team is locked in and focused this week preparing for the game which means none of them are reading this board. [/QUOTE]
