The Scarlet Knights have a believer in Texas.
got hooked on college football after watching LSU score a game-winning touchdown on a 74-yard tipped pass against Kentucky in a game that eventually went into the history books as the Bluegrass Miracle.in the process. People across the country took notice. The Scarlet Knights received two votes in the AP poll, which were not enough to crack the top 25, but for Rutgers to fall into the “receiving votes” was surely stunning enough.
“When you get to those final five teams, it’s all a crap shoot,” Johnson told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday during a phone interview from his home in Arlington, Texas. “It’s easy to toss in a SEC team, and it’s not going to be controversial. I could have thrown in Florida or Kentucky, but I don’t think the SEC isgood this year. I think a team like Rutgers with the defense it has could match up with Florida or Kentucky. I think UCLA is in the same boat as them.
With Rutgers on a bye, Johnson’s vote, theoretically, came at the right time. The Scarlet Knights will likely stay in another week, he said, and then they’ll have a shot at pulling off college football’s biggest upset Nov. 4 when they host Ohio State at SHI Stadium for a noon kickoff. Johnson said he was stunned by the feedback for ranking Rutgers. Almost all of it was positive. One tweet that now has 1,500 likes and has reached over 150,000 people said Johnson was the “the only person brave enough to rank Rutgers” and “the nation salutes you”.
