Can Rutgers Pass First Road Test Of 2024?
Going into Saturday's college football action, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 2-0 with convincing wins over FCS opponent Howard and Akron out of the MAC. This weekend's Rutgers vs Virginia Tech matchup will be their first game against a power conference opponent this year, with the question being how Rutgers will deal with the step up in level of competition. The Rutgers defense has been spectacular early this season, allowing just 12 points per game, but they will need to play their best to slow down Kyron Drones and a potent Virginia Tech offense here.
Virginia Tech Closes Out Non-Conference Slate
The Virginia Tech Hokies have bounced back from a season-opening loss to Vanderbilt by beating up on Marshall and Old Dominion over their last two outings. Here, the Hokies return to competition against a power conference opponent, in the final non-conference game of the regular season for the Hokies. Virginia Tech has averaged 31.7 points per game on offense this season, but they gave up 34 points in their lone power conference matchup of the year against Vanderbilt. It will be interesting to keep an eye on how the Hokies defense performs with that in mind.
Rutgers vs Virginia Tech Best Bet
We don't have a great frame of reference for how either of these teams will perform against a power conference opponent, but both teams have done enough offensively to give us belief that the over is the best bet here. Look for both teams to do their share of scoring in this Rutgers vs Virginia Tech matchup, in a game that could come down to which team is in control of the ball last.
