The Rutgers Scarlet Knights will host the Washington Huskies on Friday night for a Big Ten showdown.
The Huskies are coming off their best year in program history, when they reached the College Football Championship.
In the offseason, changes were made to the program. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr was drafted in the first round by the Atlanta Falcons. Washington’s top playmakers, Rome Odunze and Ja’Lynn Polk, moved onto the NFL.
Additionally, former head coach Kalen Debor left the program to take over at Alabama. Former Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch took over the Huskies' program in the offseason.

Jonah Coleman has darted for 373 yards and four touchdowns.
Senior Giles Jackson has been the top target in the offense with 342 yards and one touchdown.

Rutgers went on the road and upset Virginia Tech 26-23 last weekend. The Scarlet Knights' schedule is favorable, as they do not have to play Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, or Penn State.

Washington vs. Rutgers Betting Pick
We will ride with the home team tonight.
The Scarlet Knights style of play will give Washington issues tonight. I expect Rutgers to run the football successfully and control the time of possession.
Rutgers' defense is better than they have performed in the first three weeks, and we will see improvement tonight.
