Ohio at Rutgers

The Rutgers offense brings back all of its skill players, and the biggest question mark is how the tackles perform, as they lost their starters from last year. The defense has undergone a lot of changes, but after a myriad of injuries last season on this side of the ball, they could actually be better. The Scralet Knights have a much tougher schedule this season, so any progress made may not result in wins. This will be a tough season for Ohio U., which may be better defensively than offensively. Any edge Rutgers has may be negated, given that this is the opener for both clubs. Rutgers has questions at right and left tackle, which may inhibit their offense, at least early in the season. This game fits a situation that has gone 246-151 to the UNDER (62%). I like the UNDER in this one.
