2. Kenneth Walker III scores three more touchdowns

Kenneth Walker III is coming off his second game of the season in which he scored at least three touchdowns and he’ll add another to that list on Saturday.

The talented running back had four touchdowns in the season opener at Northwestern and three touchdowns in the first half of the Western Kentucky game. He’s capable of finding the endzone more than a couple of times in a game and he’s going to find it three times on Saturday afternoon against a solid Rutgers defense.

While he may not have the best day, yardage-wise, I think we’ll see him capitalize in the red zone after Payton Thorne drives the team down, scoring three times.

Don’t get me wrong, I would guess that Walker III hits 100 yards on the day, but I’m more worried about the offensive line holding up against this Rutgers front.

Add three touchdowns onto the total for the year, helping the Heisman campaign.
