Football Where does the media think Rutgers Football will finish in the Big Ten?
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Yeah probably.
It’s all about the line though as long the QB is servicable. Game managers can take teams with good blocking very far.
Akron will be a great litmus test for the OL and our new QB. No risk (I hope) of losing the game but it isn't the typical waste of time Wagner scrimmage either. The Zips D ranked 32nd last year in yards allowed and return most of the guys on that side of the ball. Id like to see what we look like moving the chains against them before predicting anything bold for the rest of the season.
Having the OL, a solid set of RB's and we need at least one WR to prove themselves as a game breaker. We get all 3 and the QB position will be set up to succeed. We don't need a QB to throw for 3000 yds and 20+ TD- we need mistake free
O no, could @Shelby65 's worst nightmare be coming to fruition. Winning with meathead football and Schiano succeeding.
I would have said, "No more Wimsatt to provide a 14 pt swing in the closing seconds of the 1st half". In a defensive battle it went from a potential 10-7 deficit at half to a 17-0 insurmountable lead. You don't need the best QB, just not the worst in all of FBS

How does that make sense. One of the top recruiters? At Texas? He was fired in an unceremonious manner.Drew has surpassed his OC salary at Rutgers. Making $600K as the TE coach for the Ducks.
“Drew is one of the top young offensive minds in college football with an impressive history coaching multiple different positions,” Lanning said at the time of the hiring. “He was once the youngest play caller in the Power 5, and that experience will be very beneficial as we develop our offense. Our student-athletes are going to love working with Coach Mehringer and will learn a ton from him both as football players and as young men."
2024 Salary: $600,000
Mehringer joined Dan Lanning's inaugural coaching staff at Oregon in 2022 after building a reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters during stints at Texas (2017-19), FAU (2020) and New Mexico (2021). Mehringer moved quickly when he got to Eugene and landed four-star athlete Kenyon Sadiq in the class of 2023 and converted him to tight end. He also helped Terrance Ferguson set career-highs in receptions (42), receiving yards (414) and touchdowns (six). Ferguson came up one reception shy of Ed Dickson's single-season record and three touchdowns grabs shy of Justin Peelle's mark.

“
But the Longhorns had a bit of a deceiving recruiting haul at wide receiver for the 2019 cycle. The two top rated signees Mehringer brought in are no playing in the receiving corps for the Longhorns just nine months after National Signing Day 2019.
Former Texas transfer, and USC Trojans freshman wide receiver Bru McCoy, left the Forty Acres just as quick as he landed here. And fellow former five-star wide receiver recruit Jordan Whittington was moved to running back in spring camp by Herman.”
Went to FAU and was not retained. Not sure what he did at New Mexico. But can’t imagine there were many recruiting victories.

If those were his only two, pretty thin, but:
Whittingham was drafted by the Rams.
Newcomer update: Jordan Whittington
McCoy is a late bloomer?? From Bru McCoy's Wikipedia (now on the Tennessee Vols roster):
He graduated early from Mater Dei and enrolled at USC in January 2019. After 17 days, he opted to transfer to the University of Texas at Austin, as he felt betrayed by Kliff Kingsbury, the Trojans' offensive coordinator, leaving USC to be the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League.[4][9][10] He participated in spring practice with the Texas Longhorns, before he decided to leave Texas.[11] He transferred back to USC in June.[12] He missed several months of the 2019 season due to symptoms that were never diagnosed, and took a redshirt for the season.[13][14] McCoy made his college football debut for the Trojans in the 2020 season.[15] He caught 21 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns.[16]After a July 2021 arrest for alleged domestic violence, McCoy was suspended indefinitely from the football team. Citing privacy regulations, former USC coach Clay Helton was not forthcoming with more information with the media.[17] Despite all charges being dropped for a lack of evidence, USC did not reinstate McCoy.[18]
University of Tennessee
In May 2022, McCoy announced his transfer to the University of Tennessee to play for the Tennessee Volunteers football team.[18] On the 2022 season, McCoy recorded 52 receptions for 667 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. He had three games going over the 100-yard mark in the Volunteers 11–2 season.[19][20]In the 2023 season, McCoy recorded 17 receptions for 217 yards and one touchdown in five games.[21] He suffered a season-ending displaced fracture of his right ankle against South Carolina on September 30.
