Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 30470, member: 405"] And not just for recruiting purposes and putting Rutgers back in their place, but because if we can beat Rutgers tomorrow, we will very likely get to 5-1 before facing the meat of our schedule, starting with West Virginia. If we can pop Rutgers again, that will be huge, especially with our defense so banged up. Tulane looks to be an inferior opponent, not that we can overlook anyone, and long distance travel to a game certainly can affect team performance. But Tulane got smoked by Duke and by Tulsa, not powerhouse teams by any means. Five wins, of course, leaves us with half a season left to win one game to become bowl eligible. That's why this one is so big, to me, because we are so banged up, and need the breathing room to get back to a bowl game again this year. [/QUOTE]
