We regularly play Penn State and Maryland. We don’t regularly play Syracuse and Boston College. We need better players to compete with Maryland and Penn State, so how do we do that? They haven’t only beaten us, they’ve killed us most of the last 10 years. It’s embarrassing.
Al peers are what you are relatively equal to, playing Penn St makes them an opponent , not an equal.
Also in the NJ/PA recruiting area, PSU has a big edge when pulling in HS talent over the years.
Not peers in that department when going after and grabbing the top talent is concerned .
BC and Syracuse are more like peers to RU than PSU is.
Rutgers was in the same division as OSU,that doesn't make them peers of Rutgers, just opponents plsaying in the same division.
Chances of RU beating another program must be relitivle equal to the chances of the other program winning for them to be considered peers , right now and in the past the chances of Rutgers beating Penn State are very small while the chances pf PSU beating RU are very large and closer to the cupcake designation than that of a peer
Since Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014, Penn State has won every game against Rutgers .
Penn State has won the last eight meetings by an average of 27 points.
As for recruiting , I belive Penn State has a big edge when both the Nits and RU are going after top
( 4-5*)HS talent in the NJ/PA area
Going after the same 3* players, maybe could be considered peers
Rutgers is 3-7 against the Turtles since both programs joind the B1G and usally Rutgers is considered to have a chance to win the game, that makes them a peer.
As for recruitring the same players , I feel both programs have a good chance to get the kid when the cjopce comes down to commiting to ne a Scarlet Knight or a Terrapin.
