Ford played well, but his only INT was returned for a TD. That put WVU ahead by two scores. We were alive until the end, but a late-game score by WVU put them up two scores again.

Mack only ran for 54 yards in his final college game.

A huge detriment to our game was 3 missed field goals. They were all from 40+ yards, so you can't blame Scott too much but it still hurt.

Final Score: West Virginia 42, Rutgers 28

2016 NCAA National Championship:



vs.

#1 Wisconsin Badgers (12-0) vs. #2 USC Trojans (12-0)

Lee Picks: USC
Kirk Picks: Wisconsin

USC: B OVR, B+ OFF, B DEF
WISC: B OVR, B+ OFF, B DEF

It was a close game for a while. Wisconsin opened up the game with a field goal, but USC responded with a 28 yard TD pass, putting them up 7-3.

The 2nd quarter started and USC scored again on a 33 yard field goal. But just two minutes later, Wisconsin tied up the game on a 30 yard pass. It was a defensive battle the rest of the half, but with 1:47 left, a 9 yard TD pass put them up 17-10.

After trading TD's at the start of the 3rd, Wisconsin scored 14 unanswered points to finish the quarter. They were up 38-17 going into the final quarter. It looked like they had the game sealed.

Four minutes into the 4th as Wisconsin started a drive, a USC defensive back jumped a route and picked off a pass and brought it to the house on a 27 yard return! They were now down only 14.

After 9 minutes of struggling from both sides, USC found the endzone again on an 8 yard run with 2:46 left, and were now down 38-31.

However, they couldn't get the ball back.

Congratulations Wisconsin! You are the 2016 National Champions!

Final Score: Wisconsin 38, USC 31

2016 Recap:

We finished #8 in the nation! We won a lot of great games, and only lost one game in the regular season to a good, but unranked Maryland team. Most importantly, we were the ACC Champions!

2017 Off-Season

Players Leaving

If both Tremblay and Herring leave, I'll be losing 7 defensive starters, including 6 members of my front 7. That would not be good. I'd like to keep these two around. I do have some solid OLB's set to take over though.

Results

Considering that I only have 8 recruits left on my board, I feel like I can spend a good chunk of time with Herring and Tremblay.

I start off with Herring and spend 50 minutes with him. He tells me that I'm right, and that he loves the university. He's staying around!

Now on to Tremblay. I spend 50 minutes with him as well. He tells me it could go either way, and that he's gotta sit down with his parents. I give him some time and call him again and spend a good 30 minutes with him. He tells me that the more he thinks about it, the more excited he gets about playing for me. Woohoo! He's staying!

OLB Travis Tremblay. 6'2", 228 lbs. JR(RS). 90 OVR (PRO DRAFT) - Staying
OLB Martin Herring. 6'1", 225 lbs. JR(RS). 91 OVR (PRO DRAFT) - Staying

2017 Off-Season:

Off-Season Recruiting:

Week One:

I've gotten eight commitments already, and as of now we have #3 class in the nation with FOUR 5*'s and FOUR 4*'s. Nice!

We have eight players left on the board. We're in a close race for most of them but a few have us way ahead, and all we need to do this week is set up a visit. The ones that are close will get a ton of time with us.

We even make a few promises to some players. We promised OLB Garcia a game in his home state of West Virginia.

I also promised RB Miller a game in his home state of Louisiana.

I got a call in to everyone except the two athletes, but they have soft-committed to us. I'll make sure to heavily talk to them next week.

Week Two:

Woohoo! We landed 6 players this week! Here's the rundown.

5* RB Todd Randall
4* OLB Andy Garcia
4* DE Titus Palmer
4* RB Peter Miller
4* P Stevie Bush
3* FB Joel Perry

Damn...we open up the board to find one of the ATH's committed to Wisconsin. The other has de-committed from us and has Penn St. as their #1 now. Well, we have 10 hours with this guy so I'm hoping I can change his mind.

Week Three:

And we land 4* ATH Mike Henshaw! And that wraps it up!

Actually, I had decided that I wasn't going to be able to add players in the off-season, but I think I'm going to say that if I have no one left on the board, I can go after players that have us in their top three schools.

I add quite a few players but nothing too special other than a 4* DE and a 4* FS.

Week Four:

Okay, I decided that I can visit and offer a scholarship through quick call, but can never make any pitches (other than the 5 minutes needed to offer a scholarship through quickcall).

Week Five:

Still no commitments from any of the new guys. I set up another visit or two and end the final week of recruiting.

End:

Recruiting ends and we get last-minute commitments from the following players:

4* DE Shawn Beverly
4* FS Phillip Jenkins
2* SS Eddie Henry
2* DE Brad Thomas
2* ATH Ken Bell
2* WR Michael Mitchell
2* FB Geoff Wilson

We finish with the #1 class in the nation!

2016/2017 Recruiting Review

Major Needs:

Running Back: I've got three senior's at running back. I don't necessarily need an elite player but I need a backup.

Fullback: With Baker graduating after this season, I need someone to groom behind Jean.

Wide Receiver: I have two SR's, and the future starters are all sophomores. I'd love to get some guys to redshirt now and take over when those guys leave.

Tight End: Our starter Southall is leaving after the season, and Holmes is already a JR. I need a player here for the future.

Center: Stevenson has done a good job but is now a JR and his backup is nothing special.

Right Tackle: I have a Sophmore starting and a JR backing up.

Defensive Tackle: SR and JR starting now, and the backups are a SO and a JR.

Minor Needs:

DE
OLB
CB
P

We definitely addressed running back by picking up two 5*'s and one 4* recruit, giving us a ton of options in the future.

We also addressed fullback with 3* Joel Perry. He was good enough to fight for a starting job, but he'll most likely get redshirted this year.

By picking up two 4* TE's, we surpassed our need at that position.

We didn't land a center, but we did get a guard that could move there if needed.

We didn't address our need at OT.

5* Andy Morroco fills a need at WR.

We filled our need at DT with a 4* recruit.

We filled all of our minor needs except CB which will need to be a major focus this year.

MLB Will Carter. 6'1", 238 lbs. SR(RS). 93 OVR

SS Gordon Wright. 6'1", 179 lbs. SR(RS). 89 OVR

Gameplan:

I'm considering switching from a "Balanced Offense" to the "Spread." I don't have much experience with it. Anyone know what kind of players I should be looking at? I have a fast QB, an average RB and a few solid WR's.

#17 Robert Ryan. 6'4", 188 lbs. JR(RS). 83 OVR
#12 Mike Henshaw. 6'1", 188 lbs. FR. 73 OVR

Outlook:

Scott Ford had a great year last year and should be even better this year. We are officially going with the spread offense, and he has some nice targets to throw to and some nice speed that we hope he uses to his advantage. If he declares for the draft, I'll be happy to go with Powell next year.

The 2017 Rutgers Scarlet Knights:

Running Backs

Starter

#24 Bryant Harrell. 6'1", 181 bs. JR(RS). 87 OVR

#2 Tony Weddle. 5'9", 198 lbs. FR(RS). 76 OVR
#21 Peter Miller. 5'10", 198 lbs. FR. 74 OVR

Outlook:

We've been excited to use Harrell since we recruited him a few years ago. He's not the greatest receiver out of the backfield but he's an excellent ball-carrier, can make people miss, and has great speed.

Starter
Redshirting

#47 Robert Jean. 6'1", 225 lbs. JR(RS). 72 OVR
#25 Joel Perry. 6'1", 232 lbs. FR. 70 OVR

Outlook:

We finally landed a recruit at fullback who looks like he could be a Brian Leonard type. Perry will redshirt this year, but we're excited to see a quick guy like him play the position.

#88 Bryan Robinson. 6'6", 186 lbs. JR(RS). 84 OVR
#85 Eric Royal. 6'5", 199 lbs. SR. 83 OVR
#80 Andy Morroco. 5'10", 198 lbs. FR. 83 OVR
#89 Phil Schlicher. 6'0", 177 lbs. FR(RS). 70 OVR


Outlook:

Our depth chart actually looks a little different than this. Royal and Morroco moved up to 3 and 4, and Robinson moved down to 5. We did that because Robinson does not have good speed at all, and we also don't want to waste a possibility to redshirt Morroco to get him a catch or two.

#82 Ryan McAfee. 6'3", 260 lbs. FR. 73 OVR


Outlook:

Southall was great for us but it looks like Holmes will be able to step in without a problem. Johnson and McAfee look like they will battle it out next camp for the starting job along with Stovall.

Outlook:

I had a few interesting decisions to make. First of all, at LT we have to players capable of starting. I chose Lovelady because he is a better pass-blocker. At RG, I chose Jones for the same reason. It's also good that they are older. The younger players now have another year to get better and will take over the starting job soon.

#90 Darrell Baker. 6'3", 234 lbs. SO(RS). 83 OVR
#97 Titus Palmer. 6'7", 243 lbs. JR. 74 OVR

Outlook:

Our defensive ends aren't bad, but certainly aren't great. Reggie Ford is going to be a dominant player. Thank god Herring and Tremblay are staying, otherwise my front seven would be pretty average at best.

Left Outside Linebacker

#57 Martin Herring. 6'1", 225 lbs. SR(RS). 97 OVR

#52 Preston Walker. 6'2", 227 lbs. FR. 80 OVR

Outlook:

Nasty! Herring and Tremblay coming back really saved my front seven from looking pretty poor. They make up for lackluster DE's, and Moses looks even better than I thought he would. Preston Walker looks like our next Herring type player.

#4 David Johnson. 6'1", 190 lbs. FR(RS). 76 OVR
#99 Adam Thornburg. 5'10", 166 lbs. FR(RS). 73 OVR


Outlook:

McDaniel had a bad camp and moved down the depth chart two spots! He's now our 4th CB. Parks moves up into a starting role, and Doucette and Parks looks like a special combination. I need some major help after this year though.

#48 Donta McLaurin. 6'4", 206 lbs. FR(RS). 71 OVR

Outlook:

McBride will be tested. It's his first time out on the field and he may struggle early but I think he'll be okay. We have a lot of depth at FS but Ratliff is holding on to his job.

Outlook:

I finally recruited a solid special teams player! Bush will not only punt for us, but he'll handle ALL of the kicking duties including FG's and kickoffs. He's much better overall than Scott.

[JetsIn06]

2017 Recruiting

Pipeline:

Our pipeline states are NJ, PA, FL, GA, and NY.

Major Needs:

Cornerback: This is my most pressing need. With four of my top five CB's graduating after this season, I'm desperate. WR's and ATH's are fair game to recruit so I can convert them.

Wide Receiver: I landed a 5* recruit last year, but I don't have another young guy to play alongside him.

Center: Stevenson is graduating this year and I couldn't land a guy last year.

Right Tackle: My starter is a JR, but his backup is graduating and I'd like to get a guy so I can redshirt him and give him a little time to develop underneath my starter.

Defensive End: I'd love a guy to go along with Reggie Ford for the future.

Defensive Tackle: Two players graduating. Big time need.

2017 Week One:

RECRUITING:

Welcome to the 2017 season! We're set and ready to roll into another long season.

To kick off recruiting, we do the usual and get out as many offers as we can. Our recruiting board is full, but we have stocked a few positions with a lot of players rather than a lot of positions with a few players in each. We have a couple holes that we really need to fill rather than just adding overall talent.

With that being said, let's kick it off by offering scholarships to every player that has Rutgers listed as their top choice.

Wow. Our first target was 5* OLB Connor Walker, the #1 OLB in the nation. He's coming to Rutgers! Can we get another?

We have some bad luck but we get to 4* ATH Travis Newman. He's committed to Rutgers!

That's it this week, but I'm still super happy about Walker and Newman looks like he can be a CB.

So after that, we stop from the top of the board and go down the list offering a scholarship to each player.

I hit all but five players.

GAME:

#1 Rutgers (0-0) @ Marshall (0-0)

A dominant win against the Thundering Herd. Ford stats off his season on the right foot, completeing 17 of 28 passes for 379 yards and 3 TD's. He ran 5 times for -10 yards though. I was hoping he would be able to run better in the spread offense.

Harrell seemed to like it though. He ran 12 times for 95 yards and 2 TD's. Cochran came in and ran 11 times for 69 yards and 2 TD's.

Cantrell and Hughes each had 6 receptions, but Hughes picked up 181 yards and 2 TD's. Morroco's debut was solid, with 3 receptions for 78 yards. He had a nice 49 yard pass play on a short pass.

On defense, we had 4 sacks and an INT. Anderson was great, getting 2 of those sacks as well as taking dow a player 5 times behind the LOS, with 8 tackles total. Tremblay had the INT.

Final Score: Rutgers 52, Marshall 7

[JetsIn06]

2017 Week Two:

RECRUITING:

First thing we do is finish off our scholarship offers. We actually get a commitment, this one from 3* CB Damion Graham!

A lot of the highly interested players are already itching to visit, so we start off the real week by setting those up.

We set up visits and spend the rest of our time talking with every single recruit.

GAME:

#17 Virginia Tech (0-0) @ #1 Rutgers (1-0)

I went back to a balanced offense. I just don't trust the spread and how this game will use it.

Weird game. Ford got injured (he'll be ready for next week) and Patterson came in. He had pretty solid numbers, going 16-22 for 205 yards and 2 TD's.

The running game never got going though, and Cochran, the backup RB, is injured for the next 6 weeks.

Hughes and Cantrell both had 7 receptions. Cantrell had 100 yards and a TD. Morroco also got his first TD.

We gave up six sacks and didn't get any on defense.

Final Score: Rutgers 24, Virginia Tech 13

[JetsIn06]

2017 Week Three:

RECRUITING:

All of the visits last week went very well.

We get three more players who are ready to visit so we set them up to come to our next home game which is Week 7.

I'm feeling good, simply because I'm not looking to get all of these players. Most of them are very similar within each position, so getting two and missing out on five doesn't really hurt. Right now, I'm just trying to get a little lead in interest to run with.

GAME:

Wow. Ford went 22 for 28, 220 yards, and 3 TD's.

Weddle and Harrell split time at RB, each running 12 times. Harrell had 90 yards and a TD.

Cantrell had 9 receptions for 76 yards. Hughes also had 76 yards but on 6 receptions and he also got in the endzone.

We sacked their QB 5 times and also had an INT by Broussard which was returned for a TD 67 yards.

Final Score: Rutgers 68, UL Monroe 0

[JetsIn06]

2017 Week Four:

RECRUITING:

We start out as usual by setting up a few visits.

We go through each position but ran out of time after DT. We'll make sure to start at the other end next week to make up for it.

A little too close for comfort but we get it done. Ford went 19-30 for 333 yards, 4 TD's, and 1 INT.

Harrell was great, running 15 time for 120 yards and a TD.

Hughes and Royal stole the show through the air. Hughes had 6 receptions for 136 yards and a TD, and Royal displayed his dizzying speed and caught 5 passes for 141 yards and 2 TD's.

Final Score: Rutgers 34, Virginia 27

2017 Week Five:

RECRUITING:

We have a bye week this week and then go in to face #13 Miami, which should play a part in the recruiting battle for the folks in Florida we are chasing after.

Whoa...ten more players need to get set up for visits this week. We set them all up for a showdown with Georgia Tech in two weeks. A few can't make it that week so we schedule them for this bye week, unless they are 5* recruits. If so, we set them up for Week 9 when Wake Forest is here.

As of right now, we have a player at each position that we're feeling comfortable about. Within the next week or so we will pick a player that we're going to go after hard.

GAME:

#1 Rutgers (4-0) @ #11 Miami (4-0)

Big conference matchup this week.

We get the win, but get some devastating news. Our star WR Cantrell is out for the year with an ACL injury.

Ford threw for 275 yards and 3 TD's. Harrell ran for 141 yards and 2 TD's, and both Hughes and Royal went over 100 yards receiving.

How we won this game despite giving up 7 sacks is beyond me.

Final Score: Rutgers 38, Miami 14

[JetsIn06]

2017 Week Seven:

RECRUITING:

19 players visiting us this week.

By the time I make a few pitches to them and set up their activities, I have no time left. I think I did everything I wanted to, though.

GAME:

This is going to be a tough game, I think. Maryland always plays us close.

But we pull through and get the win. Ford wasn't good, going 23-40 for 238 yards and 2 TD's but he threw 3 picks.

Harrell ran very well, running 26 times for 168 yards and 2 TD's.

Final Score: Rutgers 31, Maryland 7

2017 Week Nine:

RECRUITING:

Another great week. Our only problem was at CB, where our top recruit has dropped us to #2 and we didn't have a great week with him. We'll make sure to get some time in with him next week.

GAME:

Wake Forest (2-4) @ #1 Rutgers (7-0)

Ford threw two more INT's, but also had 3 TD's and we come out on top. I'm a little concerned though.

Harrell ran for 145 yards and 2 TD's, and Weddle backed him up and ran 13 times for 72 yards and a TD.

Both Royal and Hughes caught 6 passes and picked up a TD.

Final Score: Rutgers 45, Wake Forest 3

2017 Week Ten:

RECRUITING:

We open up the board and see that our Top 5 recruits, all 5* players, have soft committed to RU. Nice!

We get in some more solid time with our top players and we're hoping to get a commitment or two this week.

There we go Ford! He had a great game throwing for 274 yards and 4 TD's.

Harrell ran for 154 yards and Weddle ran for 81.

Our TE Stovall went over 100 yards, and Holmes had 2 TD catches.

The defense obviously played great.

Final Score: Rutgers 42, Boston College 0

2017 Week Eleven:

RECRUITING:

Wow! I wasn't expecting this!

We get commitments from FOUR 5* PLAYERS!

5* DE Clint Tucker
5* WR Chase Thurman
5* DT Pat Owens
5* ATH Michael Davis

That's going to make the rest of recruiting much easier.

We lost 5* CB Carpenter, but have another 5* CB that we're targeting. He's dropped us to #3 but we still have a shot. We'll spend a ton of time with him this week.

GAME:

Huge game. North Carolina is only one game back in the division and a win here would tie us for 1st and give them the tiebreaker, I think.

And we blow them out. Nice job guys!

Hughes caught 6 passes for 113 yards. Other than that the offense wasn't incredible but we got the job done. Lovelady, our LT, gave up 3 sacks. Yuck.

On defense, Moses had 10 tackles and 2 sacks. McDaniel had 2 INT's. As a whole, we had 3 sacks and 3 INT's.

Final Score: Rutgers 48, North Carolina 10

Once again, no one played really well. Ford threw 2 INT's and 0 TD's. But we got through it. Next week's game is huge.

Final Score: Rutgers 34, Georgia 14

GAME:

#17 Michigan (9-2) @ #2 Rutgers (11-0)

Here we are in Week 14. We win, and we are undefeated in the regular season and will play for the ACC Championship and the BCS National Championship.

We were tied going into the half at 14-14. Harrell scored both of our TD's. The second half started with Michigan returning a kickoff, a bomb to a WR that brought them to the 12, and then a run in. Letting them score that easily was not a good sign.

But three minutes later, Ford hit our 5th WR Robinson on a 57 yard pass for a TD, but we missed the XP!

We were down 21-20.

In the 4th, we marched down the field to the one yard line, and Ford brought it in. We went for 2 and got it. We held them from there!

Harrell ran for 167 yards and 2 TD's. Royal had 11 receptions for 80 yards. Herring and Schlicher each had 2 sacks on defense, and Dukes had one as well.

Final Score: Rutgers 28, Michigan 21

2017 Week Fifteen:

RECRUITING:

We land three more recruits this week!

4* K Devin Ratliff
4* WR Cole Young
3* T Derrick Forte

We've landed 14 recruits so far, and here's how it breaks down:

5* - 7
4* - 4
3* - 3

Our school has been named the #1 class in the nation so far. SEVEN 5* players. I'm wondering if I should put in some house rules, but I don't even know what I would do. I'll think about it in the off-season.
