As we wrote after the 17-7 outcome on Saturday, Rutgers won ugly against Syracuse but it was a major positive that they were able to overcome mistakes to pull out the victory. The Scarlet Knights are now 2-0 on the season and have won seven of the last nine meetings against the Orange, including four of the last five inside the Carrier Dome. It was great to see the team celebrating with the fans after the game.
