Feels like a high teens low 20's kind of game.

For a second I thought you were talking about the weather forecast (until I read the post below yours).

So it sounds like you are all over the under on total. Certainly think this is a valid prediction. Might be a grind it out type of game with the windy forecast.

Not sure EXACTLY how relevant this is, but while it's always difficult to play on the road ... it's worth pointing out that these are the road crowds we have played in front of this year:

86,936 at #22 Nebraska (W 31-24 in OT) [night game]
109,911 at #9 Penn State (L 7-21) [night game]
59,830 at #1 Oregon (L 9-38)

So we have played in three of the most difficult environments in all of college football, with two of the three games being night game atmospheres and the other being vs. the best team in the country. While Oregon blew us out, we beat Nebraska and were driving with a chance to tie it vs. PSU with a couple minutes left in the game.

Rutgers is averaging about 48,000 per game, and they drew just over 44,000 for their 12:00 pm EST game vs. Minnesota two weeks ago. It is Senior Day and their fans might be a bit more excited after the win at Maryland, but hopefully this atmosphere will seem comparatively undaunting for our guys compared to what they have seen already this season!

P.S. Also kind of crazy that by this weekend, we will not have played a road game in almost a month...

FWIW, we played like we were on the road against Minnesota.

Buddy of mine was at the Penn St. game. Said it was the loudest football game he's ever been to and he could see why on field communication was difficult.

We need this game. 9-3 sounds so much better than 8-4 or God forbid, 7-5.

Fairly big spread swings this week. Starting to raise an eyebrow.

Back to Rutgers -1.5

Coach B mentioned Demetrius John - has he seen any action yet this year?

He is number 55 I believe. Also there is a chart on another page that shows if a freshman has taken a redshirted.

Gabe Jacas Linebacker - EDGE Illinois | NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Rating: 85.1 Rank: #6 Forty: 4.80 There's genuine NFL-caliber ability in Jacas' game, though teams will need to carefully evaluate what they're getting versus what they hope he can become. ...
www.nfldraftbuzz.com www.nfldraftbuzz.com

First result in a search for Jacas's rating.
He's a UDFA at this point.
Breaks down their rating into tackles, speed, etc.
Maybe there is a chance he returns to do B1G things.

hope some of the true frosh who are redshirted get some snaps. I'm particularly intrigued by Tuerk. 6' 4" 325 now, that's massive

I'm also high on Woodward, FWLIW (cameo, at best, tomorrow)
