Rutgers is currently in the middle of a bye week with a 1-1 record as game No.3 awaits against Boston College. The game will take place in Piscataway on Sept. 21st inside SHI Stadium. Looking at the 2019 season schedule, it may appear to be just another game for Rutgers football. However, it is much more than that. There is a lot riding on this game in so many ways. This game could impact the entire future for head coach Chris Ash in Piscataway. Dating back to the latter part of 2017, Rutgers has won just two of its last 17 games. Needless to say, things need to start changing in a hurry for Ash.

Last week's 30-0 loss against Iowa on the road took the wind out of Rutgers' sails after the Scarlet Knights breezed to a 48-21 opening night victory over UMass. Next up is Boston College and Rutgers will play the Eagles for the first time since both were members of the Big East in 2004. There have been regular recruiting battles between the two programs, although Saturday will break a 15-year dry spell of competition on the Gridiron between the two Northeast schools. Rutgers lost the last meeting between the two, but that is ancient history as a lot has changed.
