The Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team is set to take on the Buffalo Bulls this afternoon.
Here's what you need to know about the game.
WHEN: Saturday at Noon -- Big Ten Network
WHO: Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Buffalo Bulls
WHERE: HighPoint.com Stadium -- Piscataway, NJ
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
#3 QB Tyree Jackson - The Bulls are lead by junior quarterback Tyree Jackson, who is coming off a 2000+ passing yard season last year. This season he well on pace to surpass that mark as he already has 789 passing yards through three games. Jackson's best game this season so far came last week against a tough Eastern Michigan team in which he threw for over 300+ yards and three touchdowns. It will be interesting to see how Rutgers can contain the stud quarterback.
#14 WR Anthony Johnson - The former JUCO wide receiver is widely considered the top wide receiver in the MAC and arguably the top NFL draft prospect in the conference too. Johnson is fresh off a 1300+ yard season in which he also had 14 touchdowns. The question for this game is will the Scarlet Knights youngsters at corner be able to hold Johnson from making those big play receptions.
RECORD LAST SEASON: 6-6 (4-4) / Wins against FAU, Kent State, Ball State, Ohio
SERIES HISTORY: This will be the seventh matchup between the two schools, Rutgers leads the series 5-1 after a 33-3 victory in 2007.
