About Andrew »

Born and raised in upstate New York and northern New Jersey, finding a team to root for wasn't exactly a task. If anything, the area boasted more of an "embarrassment of riches" than any other place in the world. So, I adopted the Yankees, Jets, and Rutgers as my teams, and as you would expect from any mid-20's guy in this area, I take them pretty seriously.

How seriously? Well, let's just say the correlation between my blood pressure and the scoreboard is no coincidence.

I'm a Rutgers alum (New Brunswick campus) and a season ticket holder for football. With the program's awakening over the past few years, it's an exciting time to be around Rutgers Football, and the future looks bright.

I primarily focus my writing here on B/R on Rutgers Football, and I like to think of my material as a barometer for how RU is doing.

So feel free to check in once a week to get my take on the Scarlet Knights and I encourage you to comment or drop me a line.

GO RU!

Good question. He's a complete non-factor. I would have expected Jack to be more involved in the offense with Savage back there, but I guess his role is more of a blocker than pass-catching threat.

What happened to Corcoran? I haven't seen him in any games this year. He made that great catch in last year's bowl game, I thought he would get more playing time.

Are the using a two back set?
