Game 5: SMU

Rutgers opens up Big East play for the final time today, as they travel to Dallas to take on the Ponies of SMU.

SMU is not a good team, and Rutgers should be able to push them around up front on both sides of the ball. QB Garret Gilbert is a turn over machine, and I don't think this will be close.

The biggest thing to watch is how the secondary plays against a pass heavy offense in their last tune up before facing Tedddy Bridgewater next week. THis won't be a physical game, and hopefully Rutgers can rest their starters late in the game to get them ready for Thursday's game.

Injuries continue to be a big problem for Rutgers, and Paul James and Jamal Merrell are the to most notable absences today. I'm not saying the next two games will define Savon Huggins career, but they probably will.
