Fresno State's high-powered offense takes on Rutgers

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- With Fresno State and its high-powered offense on tap, Rutgers is going to find out quickly about its chances in the post-Ray Rice era.

The Scarlet Knights, coming off an 8-5 campaign capped by an International Bowl win, kick off the season Monday against Fresno State at Rutgers Stadium in what could be a game where the scoreboard turns numbers like a slot machine.

The Bulldogs were 9-4 last season, including an impressive win over Georgia Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl. Quarterback Tom Brandstater returns to lead an offense that gained 571 yards in the that game against one of the nation's top defenses.

Brandstater takes '06 season with him

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- As Tom Brandstater opens his final season as Fresno State's quarterback against Rutgers this evening, he knows he's come a long way.

From backing up Paul Pinegar in 2005 to a disastrous 2006 to rebounding and rebuilding in 2007, Brandstater has ridden the rollercoaster of being a Division I quarterback, but almost didn't stick around to tell the tale.

He admits that in 2006, while the Bulldogs were going through a 4-8 campaign, he thought about quitting the team and questioned whether he was even good enough to play the game.

Another 3 and out for Fresno State to start the 2nd quarter. Rutgers will start their first drive of the 2nd quarter at their own 47
