Rutgers has failed in its last two outings against the Big East elite, and will now take their show on the road to West Point where they will face the Army Cadets. The Scarlet Knights haven’t lived up to their pre-season hype which i clearly evident by their poor 5-4 mark. A win here will make HC Schiano’s men, Bowl eligible for the third straight season. The same can’t be said of Army who’s in the midst of yet another disappointing season. They have tied last years season win total at three, but they’ll have to win out against Rutgers, Tulsa, and Navy to secure a Bowl bid for the first time since 1996. They would need a real twist of fate in order to acomplish that.

Army hasn’t been able to get much pressure on opposing QB’s (13 sacks in 9 games), and they come into this game allowing 200+ YPG on the ground. That means RB Ray Rice will get a heavy workload to add to the 1257 yards he’s gained this season. Then when Army decides to load the box up, QB Mike Teel should pick them apart downfield by looking to WRs Underwood and Britt. This will be the first time in almost a month that Rutgers will get to flex its offensive muscle, and I don’t foresee them passing on the opportunity.
