What an odd stray of an article. Nothing like rewriting history 5 months after the game. If the kid was ready to play at that part of the season he would have played. The boss wasn’t about a freshmen qb only getting minimal starts. It was about a kicker that had a horrific year and a Rutgers team that played with grit and determination.Demond Williams Jr.'s QB Coronation: Rutgers Got Off Easy

I was crying reading that article when I got to the parts about all of the injuries suffered by the Huskies.
Then I realized there was no mention of the significant amount of injuries suffered by the Scarlet Knights.
And I started laughing.

I was at the game and RU was fortunate to win. Wash outplayed RU in between the 20’s. RU won the game with some big plays in the red zone. KM had a very big game. Not looking forward to RU going out there next season, think they will be ready for that one.
As we know from the Illinois game, games are won and lost in odd ways. Beating Washington, regardless of how we did it, was very sweet.
Playing well between the 20s means nothing. It's about putting points on the board. There is no woulda, could, shoulda in football. I bet few Rutgers fans know that we were one of the better teams in the nation when it came to red zone defense. Again, can't win if you don't put it in. 😂
They went on to beat USC and UCLA - and finished ranked ahead of RU for total offense and defense.
I think RU coaches were stoked to win the Wash game
I remember Schiano being really amped-up more than usual.
You missed the part that mattered the most. Scoring. And total offense 390.5 yards for UW vs 383.7 for Rutgers. Woopty doo.
Points scored 23.9 UW vs 28.7 Rutgers.
Also vs B1G teams RAu had 216 points while UW had 189 points for the season. UW defense was 1 point better than RU.
That's football - you win some you shouldn't and lose some you should.
RU should have beat UCLA but lost by a hair.
Washington beat UCLA and lost to RU by a hair.
Truth is both teams were mediocre at the end.
Washington was in title game last year and rebuilding in 24.
RU was supposed to be peaking with all the seniors and experience.
But there's always a leak springing in Rutgers' boat "we'll get there!"
Ummm, that wasn't a leak. That was a barrage of key injuries on defense wiping out those seniors and experience. Offense held serve an then some with a young cadre of receivers.
Biggest loss of season was not necessarily UCLA (or USC), but Illinois--Rutgers was likely at their purported peak for that game, had the game in had, and we all know what happened.
Maybe the 2025 season will please you, but won't hold our breath.
I was in the forum the day of the win and the days after.
The win was good but the prevailing vibe was "wow we have more problems than I thought!"
Most people were not feeling very encouraged about the rest of season after that.
Indeed after Washington there was a four game losing streak to underline the weaknesses
No doubt the following B1G teams took notes on the weaknesses that Washington game exposed
As for me, I just take in the games without the expectations.
Every year there are a dozen teams having great seasons, and 2 dozen having bad seasons with most having mediocres.
RU went from bad to medicore and its going to stay there at best.
RU offense has been based on trying to win by not losing and thats a short bus philosophy that demands a top defense
It was telling RU found success losing Mongo since coaches had to take the training wheels off.
It would be hopeful if they kept that going but we know how tight GS holds on to bad ideas.
I mean everyone can see how silly the Siamese twin mesh is where QB and RB cross the LOS together - fooling nobody.
For that coaching you pay OC twice the salary of RU president.
The good thing is RU has nice people with character and thats getting more rare in CFB.
For that I'll watch the games but as a casual fan.
