Rutgers most likely will not see a game against a more even opponent after this one. All stats are similar as both quarterbacks struggled while both running backs were stout. Teddy Bridgewater's NFL draft stock continues to plummet after another weak performance, while Gary Nova continues his inconsistent ways that he struggled with a year ago.

After letting up to quick scores Rutgers thought it was going to be a blow out. However, the Merrell's gathered troops on the sidelines and rallied the defense, stoping any Louisville offense until the 4th quarter. Rutgers offense continued to struggle until a 30 yard run by Nova in the third quarter kickstarting the offense.

In the end this match up will create even more tension between the two before next time they meet. Rutgers falls just out of the top 25, however with a couple more wins we believe we will soon see them accomplish this goal. The season doesn't get any easier as Rutgers has a bunch of even quality conference opponents yet to face. Rutgers will first have a bye week before hosting Houston in what should be a good battle.
