Red Bandana Game Preview | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers heads to Boston College for a high-stakes Red Bandana game, marking 25 years since 9/11 and both teams’ first losses of the season. Rutgers got crushed by UMass, BC by Cincinnati — neither has a win yet, so both are desperate. The matchup is evenly matched: Rutgers’ run game stalled, BC’s run defense crumbled; Rutgers’ pass rush was weak, BC’s line gave up sacks. But BC holds home-field advantage and the emotional weight of the game, while Rutgers’ coaching future hangs in the balance with Greg Schiano’s job on the line. New QB AJ Surace showed flashes — maybe enough to turn things around. Still, consensus leans toward BC: tougher opener, stronger motivation, and a crowd primed for a statement win. This could be close, but expect BC to edge it out. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
