I did a deep dive of the VT boards and came away pretty encouraged.

Coming out of the game, I think we as a fanbase were generally happy with the offense, not happy with the coaching, and a bit worried about the defense getting gashed in the 4th.

VT fans, meanwhile, are obviously unhappy with the coaching but by and large they were very happy with the defense and pissed at the offense. They seem to think their offense just oozes talent…so the fact that we held them in check until the 4th is a great sign. We also know that Schiano and Harasymiak will get the defense right and that arguably our three best defenders were all a bit limited (Bailey, Powell, and Flip).

Still, Rogers mighy be the best QB we face all season and he loveees a good deep shot. In fact, the Washington offense seems pretty reliant on big pass plays so if we can limit those, we’ll be in good shape. The secondary will be absolutely key and if we know anything about Greg, it’s that he’ll have the secondary ready to play.

This is a good watch

@Adam Gorney grades each Big Ten program's recruiting class + performance on the field thus far.

FULL LIST: RUTGERS' 2025 RECRUITING CLASS

Upon coach Greg Schiano’s return to Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights had three-straight losing seasons including winning just four games total in 2022. To start this season, Rutgers is 4-0 and it’s coming off three-point wins over Virginia Tech and Washington. Things are definitely looking up for Rutgers on the field and recruiting is also going very well.

The Scarlet Knights have 29 pledges, rank No. 22 nationally in the team rankings, have four four-star commitments and then 10 high three-stars who are one notch away from four-star status. No longer is it a cupcake win to play Rutgers.

Grade: A
