8. Rutgers Scarlet Knights 

The Scarlet Knights will return last season’s leading rusher Isaih Pacheco for one more go around in Piscataway.

Pacheco broke out last season rushing for 515 yards and three touchdowns, averaging about 4.5 yards per carry. He was also a major player in their passing game as well, hauling in 19 receptions for 130 yards and a score.

Quarterback play is not always the most consistent at Rutgers, so the ground game is important to what they do on offense.

Behind Pacheco, sophomore back Kay’Ron Adams ran for over 150 yards and a touchdown and provides solid depth at the position.
