Start or Sit (NFC Home Games)

Talking the business of sports

Current Records: Wagner 0-1; Rutgers 1-0

Last Season Records: Rutgers 5-8; Wagner 0-11

The Wagner Seahawks will square off against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at SHI Stadium. RU will be strutting in after a win while the Seahawks will be stumbling in from a loss.

The contest between Wagner and the Fordham Rams last Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Wagner falling 48-31 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, RU dodged a bullet last week, finishing off the Boston College Eagles 22-21. RU's RB Al-Shadee Salaam filled up the stat sheet, punching in one rushing touchdown.

The Scarlet Knights' defense was a presence as well, as it collected two interceptions and two fumbles. The picks came courtesy of DB Robert Longerbeam and DB Christian Braswell.

Wagner's defeat took them down to 0-1 while Rutgers' victory pulled them up to 1-0. Wagner's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against an RU defensive front that amassed four sacks against BC, so we'll see if they are up to the task.

This is the first time these teams have played each other within the last seven years.
