Coach:
Greg Schiano begins his seventh season.

Last year:
11-2, including a 37-10 victory over Kansas State in the Texas Bowl.

Offense: Any offense with Playboy All America Ray Rice in the backfield will be explosive. Mike Teel returns for his second season at quarterback; he threw for 2,135 yards and 12 touchdowns, but he needs to throw fewer interceptions (13 last year). The best of several good wide receivers is Kenny Britt. Schiano is looking to fill a couple of spots on the line and has to locate a good tight end or two.

Defense: Six starters are back on this side of the ball, most notably lineman Eric Foster. Some questions must be answered at linebacker, but the secondary, featuring Courtney Greene at strong safety, is solid.

Schedule: Seven of the Scarlet Knights' first eight games are at home.

Prediction: Rutgers proves that last season's success was no fluke. 9-3
