The Rutgers bye will soon be a thing of the past as Greg Schiano has taken over the program once again and will have the Scarlet Knights back bowling before we know it.

But that’s going to take a lot a work and the Scarlet Knights aren’t just going to be competitive overnight. That’ll take time and a visit to East Lansing won’t go so well for them, especially against a Michigan State team battling for respect.

Michigan State won’t have much of a problem in this one as the Spartans overcome a seventh loss of the season to finish strong.

Final Score: Rutgers 10, Michigan State 35 (4-7, 3-5)

A long year will come to an end in College Park as the Spartans will look to beat the Terrapins yet again. This series has been owned by Michigan State of late and that won’t change in the finale as the Terrapins are still a couple of year away from contending in the Big Ten.
