If the experts who installed the Huskies as 27½-point favorites are correct (and spoiler alert: they are), UW will have all the high points, and the Scarlet Knights will be absent any solutions.
Last September, UW opened its season against a Rutgers team that would go on to have a 2-10 record, including a winless mark in the Big Ten.
Now they face a Rutgers team that is purported to be improved, with a new offensive coordinator and senior Kyle Bolin, a Louisville transfer, at quarterback.
When Rutgers was scheduled for this home-and-home series four years ago, the Scarlet Knights were coming off a nine-win season in 2012 and six wins in 2013. Who knew back then they’d slip-slide into such irrelevancy?
Cohen deserves credit for making that happen last August, a task that required negotiations with Nevada and North Dakota to move previously scheduled games.
