After 4 weeks lets see where Rutgers players land statistically:
In Total QBR - Athan Kaliacmanis is #8 in the B1G and #39 nationally. That is really good considering that our previous QB's were always at the bottom of the conference in everything. Athan is #7 in the B1G in TD's and #13 in terms of yards. He also had 1 less game so these stats are really impressive. I think it's fair to say that we finally have a competent P5 level QB.
Even after a game that was modest by Monagai standards he's still 2nd in the B1G in rushing and 5th nationally. VT sold out on stopping the run and wanted to make Athan beat him and he did. There's no doubt in my mind that Gavin Wimsatt throws that screen 10 feet over Strong's head.
Dymere Miller is top 15 in the B1G in yards. He seems to be a competent P5 receiver and Athan's favorite target.
On PFF Holin Pierce and Needam are #2 and #3 ranked tackeles in the country! Kobe and Felter are ranked #2 and 4 nationally! Zilinkas is ranked #3 nationally. Our entire offensive line is ranked top 5 in the country !!!
Defensively Djabome and Rogers have PFF Grades of 85 which are extremely high.
Some of Schiano's coaching decisions yesterday were bad. I think he needs to learn how to finish out a game. However, I don't care if we win by 30 or 3 as long as we win. The turnaround he has done with this team is nothing short of remarkable. It's not like he brought in a bunch of 4-star players. We do have some good younger guys but the upper classmen playing now were not highly recruited guys. Virginia Tech is not some garbage team. To beat them on the road is incredible.
