Rutgers has struggled to hold on to in-state talent since New Jersey became a recruiting hotbed. 3 4 6 The Daily breaks down how the Scarlet Knights stack up against the Wolverines. Florida (Sept. 2): ***Jaws theme song*** Cincinnati (Sept. 9): The Bearcats are the only team from Ohio that almost won last week. Penn State (Oct. 21): Michigan should get an assist for Barkley’s Heisman. Rutgers (Oct. 28): If you’re reading this from the hot tub in the student section at Rutgers, you should go to the doctor. Minnesota (Nov. 5): PJ.. Fleck-Harbaugh is the next Mayweather-McGregor. Air Force (Sept. 16): Air Force was my safety school. (But really thank you for your service.) Maryland (Nov. 11): You don’t live in D.C., stop saying that. Purdue (Sept. 23): Jeff Brohm probably had better facilities at Western Kentucky. Michigan State (Oct. 7): The Michigan Daily has beaten the State News 13 years in a row. Indiana (Oct. 14): Hoosier? I barely know her. Ohio State (Nov. 25): We finally found some- one who loves college more than Asher Roth: tenth-year senior J.T. Barrett.
