Washington at Rutgers 7:00 on FS1

[thetrza]

One of the most anticipated games of this entire Friday night is about to kick off in New Jersey. Conference bragging rights are at stake as the Washington Huskies make a long road trip to face off against the Scarlett Knights of Rutgers. This is the B1G against the Pac-12 with everything on the line.

Rutgers is coached by a native Iowan, and they added some key pieces to their staff during the offseason including our friend Jerry Kill. While Washington enters the game ranked with high expectations of contending for a Pac-12 title.

Rutgers draws first blood, Jerry Kill dialing up the right plays for a touchdown drive.

Yeah, new OC, 4 grad transfers on offense. First possession, TD. The bar has been set. Iowa needs to hit the ground running on offense. No excuses. Unless, anyone thinks Wyoming has a tougher defense than Washington.

Great goal line defense for Rutgers after giving up a big pass play

Rutgers leads 7-3

Looks like Rutgers offense has slowed down since the first drive. And now The Huskies have gotten into a rhythm on both sides.

Explain to me again why this game matters.
