Rutgers travels to Chestnut Hill for a game against Boston College this Friday following losses by both teams. Boston College enters the contest after a 34-15 loss to Cincinnati where the Eagles struggled with pass protection and run defense. Quarterback Mason McKenzie recorded 78 rushing yards against Cincinnati but the Boston College offense was held to limited passing production. Rutgers plans to start AJ Surace at quarterback for the first time after he saw action in the team's previous game. The Rutgers coaching staff will look to address offensive line stability to support both the passing game and running back Antwan Raymond. Success for the visiting team relies on exploiting Boston College’s defensive vulnerabilities against the run while protecting the new starting quarterback.
