Rutgers Prepares For Road Test vs Fresno State to Open 2013

Matchup Preview *|* August 24, 2013
	@
#25 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (0-0, 0-0 Away)		Fresno State Bulldogs (0-0, 0-0 Home)
Injury Report Game Notes For the first time since 2008 and just the second time ever these two teams match up. Five years ago in New Brunswick it was all Fresno State in a 24-7 win in which a young running back named Ryan Matthews would torch the Rutgers D for 163 yards. This go around Fresno State is led by their passing game and senior QB Greg Watson. Watson is making his first career start as he was the long time back up to Derek Carr. The Fresno State running game will feature a first time starter as well in red-shirt junior Joshua Quezada, so it will be an interesting matchup vs the Rutgers defense that had to replace so many starters from last seasons team. The Scarlet Knights will be led into the game by senior First Team All-ACC QB Chas Dodd. Dodd is looking to improve on his passed two season and take himself and Rutgers to the next level, their season clearly hinges on his performances. With Jawan Jamison gone into the NFL, its now Savon Huggins turn to man the backfield. The redshirt sophomore is a former 4-star recruit and can make an immediate impact if things go well.
