2013 Week Two:
Recruiting:
A few players bumped us up to #1, but we had no luck when we offered them a scholly.
I offered a few more players scholarships, but only players that I feel I need to throw everything at.
Not the best week in the world, but there is still plenty of time. It's still a weird period because you are trying to weed out the players that you don't have a chance at/don't think will be interested in you.

Huge game.
And a huge win! We took an early lead and never let up. We went into halftime up 21-6.
Carpenter wasn't as good, going 14 of 25 for 17 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. But Mills...this guy is just unreal. 32 carries, 243 yards, and 4 TD's.
Final Score: Rutgers 35, Virginia Tech 21
