it is true rice will be hard to replace but a good passing team should help to ease the burding lets not forget about that o-line my lazy _ss could have rushed for 500 behind that line so i think the rushing will be there the passing will loosing up that fresno linebackers a little. rutgers d-fense is still about the same maybe a little better with some people are back that were hurt last year as i do my numbers crunching i cant understand why the line is only -4. my play will be rutgers -4-6-8 whatever i like the knights
GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND LETS HAVE A BALL

Fresno St. vs. Rutgers over 57.5 (2 units) - the Bull Dogs are a trendy pick this year and many predict them to be a BCS killer along with BYU and Utah. Fresno returns 10 starters on offense, yes 10, and another 6 on defense. The offense should be no problem as it scored 32.9 ppg last year. Rutgers will be without Ray Rice for the first time in awhile and they do not have a proven replacement. That doesn't mean they can't score though because returning QB Matt Teel has a very deep and experienced WR corps. The Scarlet Knights also return much of their defense, which was pretty decent last year, but will they be able to contain the Fresno offense? Piscataway is a tough place to win for an opposing team opening the season. This should be a very good, high scoring game.

Both offenses are very talented. Should be a high scoring game. Fresno St is basicly returning their whole offense from last year. I think the Bulldogs win outright. It will be a close game.

I'm with you my man.......Ray Rice doesn't make a team......just because he is gone doesn't mean the Rutgers offense is a mess. Teel has his big threats back and is a third year guy this year........Fresno scores more points than most people understand......and with 10 starters back......they WILL SCORE today! l Look for some huge passing plays in the first third of this game to get it going toward the over. Remember......if your not sure who to root for........take the over and root for everyone!!!

I have to agree with everyone posting about Ray Rice. Losing ray rice isnt like losing a role player. He was the man who put you on the map!!! No more 8 man fronts, no more single coverage on guys like Underwood and Brown. This si the first time that they have had to deal with that. Maybe in the next couple of weeks they will get used to it. But this is week one. It is going to be and adjustment period. If Teel was more like Matt Ryan than Matt Flynn then maybe he could overcome it himself, but he isn't. Because if he was he wouldnt be at Rutgers. When Shiano brought teel in he was still rebuilding. tell wasnt a top 10 qb or had many teams across the nation fighting for him. Rutgers will be fine this year 8 or 9 wins and a late December bowl game, but they have to find thier identity. That being said. Fresno has it's identity and that is why I take Fresno to win out right. Will it be close???? Unless u think two scores is close then no. 34-24.
Enjoy the game

Hey good try with the offensive line bit. But one thing that all four teams have in common? Anyone? Anyone? THEY ALL RELY ON RUNNING THE BALL!!!!! they only reason they both had 1,000 yds in the air is 7 and 8 man fronts. Ray Rice commanded 8 man fronts. Anyone have stats on the offense when Rice wasnt in? No? I guarantee the offense was stagnant. Also a big part of your post (My guess it was a Rutgers based site where you got it) is that only 2 of the offensive line returns. That is 40% for you math buffs. And one of them is changing positions!!! WOW that sounds like they would be a co-heasive unit!!!!!!

even with rice gone ....rutgers has always had a solid running game....now its time for someone else to step up in the running game which wont be hard considering fresno state was ranked 84 ou of 119 teams last year in run defense.....rutgers still has the second best 1-2 reciever combo in college football....and they still have their conerbacks which ranked # 5 in pass defense last year....big east vs wac conf........gimmie a fucking break......RUTGERS ALL THE WAY......

Also when fresno is on offence its going to be very very load in that stadium and that will probobly cause the fresno QB to throw at least 2 ints for sure

#5 pass defense against who? The big east runs, they dont pass. The one team they played that actually passed was Luisville, remember how that ended up? I do. Heartbreak for Rutgers, and me. They cost me big that night. Good luck today. And your right about the "solid" running game. They Had Brian Leonard and Ray Rice over the last 7 years. Little history: Brian Leonard (Second Rd) and Ray Rice (3rd Round) Now who is there? Mason Robinson? Yeah that is "solid" Try Again dude.

The Colonel is off his rocking chair!!! Rutgers will play anyone, anywhere? They are picked by most to finish near last in their league!! Golden rule of gambling. Bet with your head, not your heart. Quit being a homer and pumping up your team. Fresno State is a team that most are believing will TRAP Wisconsin. They are that good.
Take Fresno on the Money line and carry your winnings over to Tennessee tonight.

i personally love how people are shrugging off the Ray Rice loss. R u kidding? He wasnt just another Running Back. He was THE running back. No matter how many strides Rutgers has made in the last few years they are not Texas, Wisconsin, USC, Oregon, etc that can't just plug in another highly ranked Running Back in the system. Will they be able to adjust this year? Yes!!! They have talent at the WR position there is no denying that. But the WR's will be asked to do things that they werent last year. It will take time. Maybe if this was week 7 or 8 the adjustment period would be over, but it the first game. Not good. Call this an opening week line and take advantage of it. Please!!!! I cant believe how low this line is just like i couldnt believe that USC was only 20 pts favorites against Virginia.

730 pm huh? Thats a whole 14 hrs before they have to be at the field. Whew, I thought you were gonna say something that would sway my thinking the other way. Do more research and then try again when you have some meat on your bones.

my play is Fresno St. here-- I'm currently riding a 8-0 streak and hope to make it 10-0 before the day is up.
I saw someone's post about Rutgers giving up the least amount of sacks... which makes sense because Rice got the ball 25+ times a game last year! It's hard to send blitz packages when you have to worry about one of the best RBs in football, and a capable QB.
Don't get it twisted tho, Rutgers will be good for about 3 quarters then the talent and experience should come in to play for Fresno St-- Fresno St will probably drop more guys in coverage and allow Rutgers to try and run which they probably won't be able to do. If Rutgers can establish a ground game and/or Fresno St is not focused on this game (Wisconsin does come to town next week) then us Bulldog backers are in trouble today!!!
with that said, there is a reason that 2 teams paid Fresno St. this year to get out of games against them (Kansas St was one of them)-- They potentially could be the real deal!
