Washington has two gargantuan defensive tackles plus defensive backs with size that love and are good at press coverage. I now understand why NU couldn't get anything done on offense. Plus their receivers are very big and fast. Physically they just look like all studs.
One of their two gargantuan defensive tackles got hurt, I believe, in the fourth quarter or perhaps late in the third quarter. Rutgers immediately attacked that hole on the next play and ran in it from long distance for a touchdown. All to say that personnel made a difference in that circumstance.
Rutgers is fine but, man, were they hitting all the cards in that game based on the talent on the field.
Forget about the competition in the B1G stiffening with Oregon, Washington and USC, but we now have the nightmare scenario of perennial doormats, Illinois, Indiana, and Rutgers looking like real programs!
Offer goes out to 2025 OL and recent Air Force decommit Hayden Wright. Plays his high school ball in Kingswood, TX. Perhaps @NU Houston can provide some intel?
Or they are flat out getting pseudo booted off the team. Indiana just had 6 kids leave this week. Since they were backups with little to no playing time they preserve a season of eligibility. I bet Cignetti called them in and said they have no future here, leave. Cignetti seems to be a tool and he doesn’t appear interested in the “student athlete” beyond the athlete part.
