Two struggling teams face off on when the Rutgers Scarlet Knights make the trip to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are in the middle of a rebuild, and it has really shown with the results on the field so far this season.
They come into this game with a 1-4 record with their only win coming against FCS level competition. In the other four games they have scored 17 or less points in each of the game.
On the defensive side of the ball it hasn’t been any better.

In their last game against the Ohio State Buckeyes they were dominated from the opening kick off and that led to a 56-0 defeat.
To win this game the offense needs to find a way to get going. 17 points probably won’t be enough points to come out ahead.
Illinois Fighting Illini
The Illinois Fighting Illini have had a terrible season so far this year. After winning the first two games against mid major teams, they have struggled the last three games and now come into this game with a 2-3 record.
In the three losses you can’t really point to one thing that has been the issue, because it seems like the whole team has been.
The defense has been terrible having let up at least 45 points in two of the last three games. The offense hasn’t been any better scoring 16 points or less in two of the last three games.
The biggest issue for the offense has been they can’t find a quarterback to lead this team. They have tried a bunch of different guys, but no one has really stepped up and grabbed the job.
They are only averaging 178 yards per game through the ground, and that needs to change if they want to have success for the rest of the season.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
To win this game it’s all going to come down to the offensive side of the ball. They need to find a way to have success on the ground and through the air.
If the offense struggles again in this game, they will be upset in this one.
