They both finished with Lee Suggs touchdown runs, neither of which saw a defender touch Suggs. I also think that I saw backup center Jake Grove playing with the starting line in this game. There was no significant dropoff in performance between the first line and second line. Okay, I'll buy that, but I'm still concerned about the consistency of the Tech pass rush, or lack thereof. Not that there's much that can be done about it overnight.
Blitzes help, but they can be negated with three-step drops and slant patterns.
Maturity of the defensive line will fix this problem moreso than just throwing more people at it. And maturity doesn't happen in a hurry. The good news is, the defensive backs and linebackers played very well in this game. Not that Rutgers has all-world receivers, but they were covered pretty well. Despite the fact that Tech had just one sack, Rutgers only completed 17 passes in 49 attempts, and that is a compliment to the coverage.
