Interesting thread. Rescigno does a couple things well. Very good mobility. He's strictly a game manager though. Rutgers is clearly improved. They're not very good, but they at least look like a competently coached team. They got beat because they don't have any guns, not because they beat themselves in a laughable, comedic manner.
The big problem is they have ZERO talent at WR. I thought we would see a lot more of 4-star Melton, but I only recall him making one catch for a couple yards. When you have no playmakers, you gotta get your best talent on the field and see what he has.
Receivers are not getting open, and then Rescigno compounds the problem by pulling the ball down IMMEDIATELY and taking off. That's why they don't give up any sacks, because they don't try to stand in against the rush and throw. It's chicken-and-egg which problem needs fixed first. If they had dangerous receivers and a powerful run game then Rescigno would probably be all right.
They won three league games vs none last year, if they hadn't lost at home to a MAC they would still have a shot at a bowl game with Indiana on deck. They're still no threat against any decent team, but they are obviously improved.
