Rutgers opens the 2024 season against Howard at SHI Stadium on Thursday.
opens their 2024 season against Howard at SHI Stadium on Thursday night. After earning their first bowl win in nine years last fall, Rutgers will look to take the next step behind a senior-laden squad with a lighter-than-usual schedule in front of it.Howard was a respectable 6-6 a season ago, so this is not a Wagneresque level of crème puff to open the season.
Rutgers has not lost an opener in coach Greg Schiano’s second stint, and that’s unlikely to change as the Scarlet Knights usher in the start of their coach’s fifth season back in Piscataway. After a “tough” training camp left several players dealing with week-to-week injuries, Rutgers can showcase its depth and get some new faces playing time in a game Rutgers should seize control of by halftime.
Rutgers could be missing multiple key players for this contest, based on head coach Greg Schiano’s comments on Monday, but that should not make a major difference. The Scarlet Knights remain the most talented team on the field, and barring another major wave of injuries throughout the contest, they should be able to win this one convincingly.Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
