Description

Ryan and Clinton continue their deep dive into Big Ten previews, tonight discussing the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. To help the guys, Richie O'Leary from Rutgers On3 joins the show.

Greg Schiano has now won three or fewer Big Ten games in five of his six seasons back at Rutgers. Despite a breakout performance from RB Antwan Raymond and the passing attack in 2025, the Knights were 2-7 in conference play. Now QB Athan Kaliakmanis departs. Is there pressure on Schiano in 2026 to get this team back to bowl eligibility?

Rutgers brought in Boston College (and former Bama) QB Dylan Lonergan to compete with returning AJ Surace for the starting job. Is there a preconceived lean on this QB competition, and what does each guy bring to the table?

Defensively, Rutgers was not good in 2025. They once again went to the portal for experienced G6 edge rushers, after a failed experiment in this realm in 2025. Will it yield different results in 2026?
