Podcast: EARLY 2026 Rutgers Season Preview | Cover 3 Summer school
- Rutgers is coming off what the hosts viewed as its best offense since joining the Big Ten, but that progress still produced only a 5-7 season because the defense regressed.
- Returning offensive-line experience reduced the need for heavy portal spending and should give the 2026 unit an adequate foundation.
- The unresolved quarterback competition is the offense's central variable; one contender brings multiple 300-plus-yard passing performances from Boston College.

College Football Offseason Update | Part 1 | Rutgers podcast segment
- Rutgers under 5.5 wins — Duck said he has not spoken about this play elsewhere and emphasized getting the number before it moves; market noted at -140 on the under. He said he would back Boston College no matter what the number is in the Red Bandana spot.
- Rutgers is being downgraded because of a horrific front seven last year: only 11 sacks and 6.8 yards per carry allowed. Duck said the staff overhaul needs time and he does not see a bowl path.
- Rutgers: Duck said the defense was anti-Greg Schiano last year and that the program still has a long way to go. He noted the QB battle matters, but the bigger issue is a defense that needs a full rebuild.
