Rutgers Eyes Win to Set Season Tone | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers aims to kick off their season with a statement win against struggling UMass, setting the tone for a tough Big Ten slate where six wins are needed just to be bowl eligible. UMass, reeling from a winless season and a 12-game FBS losing streak, hopes new coach — former Rutgers defensive coordinator — and fresh transfers can spark an upset. But with a porous defense and an offense that couldn’t score last year, they’re heavy underdogs against a Scarlet Knights team loaded with offensive firepower and led by a new transfer QB. Expect Rutgers to dominate early and often — this game’s not just about points, it’s about proving they’re ready for the grind ahead.
