Rutgers (2-0) vs Delaware (2-0) Game Preview
Why Delaware Will Win
The offense hasn’t been anything great, and the defense hasn’t been a brick wall, but against Rutgers just one thing matters – do you make mistakes?

That happens with pressure. Rutgers has been amazing at getting into the backfield, the hits and big plays are coming from all sides, and offenses keep making lots and lots of mistakes.
QB Noah Vedral isn’t taking any big shots, but he’s been ultra-careful with the ball, he’s been accurate enough on his midrange throws, and the defense does the rest.

What’s Going To Happen
Delaware just doesn’t have enough offense to push through the Rutgers defensive front.
The Scarlet Knights will keep generating pressure, but it’ll still be more of a grind overall than they might like.
Don’t expect any sort of a shootout, but the Rutgers running game will start to work late, Vedral will take the attack on a good scoring drive after halftime, and everyone will start to breathe easier.
