Rutgers football suffered one of the most embarrassing losses in program history, falling to UMass after entering the game as a massive favorite. Chris McMonigle and Zach Gelb break down the disastrous performance and question whether Greg Schiano’s time at Rutgers has finally come to an end.

Then, the conversation turns to the Yankees. After Tampa Bay’s recent struggles and New York getting healthier, the Yankees are suddenly just three games back in the loss column with a huge series against San Diego on deck.

Are the Yankees about to make a serious run at the AL East and the No. 1 seed? Zach Gelb is filling in for Craig Carton on the Carton Show with Big Mac.

Rutgers opens the season with a humiliating 37-21 loss to UMass, and Shaun Morash calls it an unrecoverable disaster for Greg Schiano. Shaun is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they rip into Rutgers for getting dominated at home by a team that entered on a 16-game losing streak.

The embarrassment goes beyond the scoreboard. Shaun argues Schiano should step down, questions why top New Jersey recruits would still choose Rutgers, and even blasts the postgame fireworks after such an ugly defeat. Tiki says there is only one way Schiano can survive the fallout: start winning games Rutgers is not supposed to win.
