An extremely impressive performance by Rutgers in this one. Gary Nova looked unstoppable, but as we know this could turn around at any moment. Savon Huggins turned in one of his best performances, which easily could have been turned into a 200 yard game, given a few more snaps. Brandon Coleman was deadly on the field as his draft stock continues to rise.

Defensively, Rutgers continues to shine against the run and played extremely well against the pass even against an air raid team like Houston. Jamil Merrell is continuing to rise on NFL draft boards as he tallies yet another sack.

Rutgers fans should not get too excited, as Houston is one of the weaker teams in the conference. However, Rutgers continues to move up in BCS rankings, as they officially rank 21st. The Knights will take on 6-2 Temple next week in New Jersey. Temple was the team knocked Louisville from top 25 with an impressive upset. With two recruits in next week, 3 star QB Cash Carter and 4 star TE Doug Kelly, who both have Rutgers and Temple as top 2 teams, Rutgers will need to dominate Temple for all 4 quarters.
