Another late surge by the Scarlet Knights earns them another win this year. The game was tight all the way till the 4th, where Rutgers offense decided to show up.

Gary Nova started the game horrific, missing wide open receivers time after time. Huggins as well had a poor start, which belonged to poor offensive line play. The Bearcats had their game plan set, however after getting together Nova was able to rally the troops, demonstrating why he is worthy of being an NFL draft pick. He is a game manager. Coleman was easily the player of the game as he dominated his corner all game, showing why he should be an NFL pick this upcoming April.

Defensively, Rutgers was sound except for on a few big plays. The main problem Key's few big runs, otherwise the Bearcats were stopped on the run. The Scarlet Knights pass defense continues to improve, even with star safety Waters out for the first half the team was able to step up and keep the arial attack minimal.

Next week Rutgers will travel to UCF to take on the (3-6) Knights in a Thursday night game. Rutgers is expected to beat what is yet again a weaker opponent, but crazier things have happened.
