Rutgers OL Bryan Felter out for season
Without Felter, the Rutgers offensive line will have to regroup ahead of the biggest game of the season. Head coach Greg Schiano knows going to Lincoln to try and stay undefeated is a monumental task.
Especially for his offensive line to provide running lanes and pass protection.
“Defensively, I think their defensive line is stout,” Schiano said Monday. “Robinson, 9, and then 0 and 1, I think it’s Butler and I don’t know if I’ll say this right, Hutmacher, those three guys, as physical as you’re going to see. The linebackers, we kind of know one of them, he’s an Irvington kid that we recruited, really good player in Gbayor, and then I think the secondary is really well-coached. I mean, they play together. They play — you can see they know what they are doing with the scheme.
“So I think their defense is one of the better ones in America, and they certainly understand what their defensive coordinator wants them to do. Tony is a heck of a coach, and I think that it’s a well-coached team. It’s a talented team and we are going to play them in a very, very tough place to play.”
