Best All-Time Season

2006 – Rutgers doesn’t have a whole lot to sneeze at during its long and painful history, but there’s no doubt the Greg Schiano era was the best. The former head coach put the Scarlet Knights on the map and reinvigorated the program during his time in Piscataway.

The best season he directed was by far the 2006 one in which running back Ray Rice led the team to an 11-2 record. The team started with a 9-0 record and got all the way up to No. 6 in the BCS Standings. It ultimately dropped a couple of games, but ended on a high note by beating Kansas State 37-10 in the Texas Bowl.

Best Player Of All-Time

Ray Rice – RB (2005-2007) –  The aforementioned running back Ray Rice helped bring the Scarlet Knights to relevancy. During his time in Piscataway, Rutgers went to three-straight bowl games and made it into the top ten in the national rankings.

Rice set a single-season program and Big East record in 2006 with 1,794 yards, and followed that up with a 2,000 yard season in 2007. He went on to have a long NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens.
