1. Art Sitkowski doesn’t throw an interception

This is perhaps the boldest prediction of them all considering the Scarlet Knights freshman quarterback has thrown four interceptions to start the season to just one touchdown. Sitkowski threw three interceptions in the opener against Texas State, followed by an interception against Ohio State before being knocked out of the game.

Additionally, Kansas picked off four passes in their win over Central Michigan. This prediction could go sour on the first drive of the game, but I’m placing some faith in Sitkowski. Not much can be taken from his performance against Ohio State, the Scarlet Knights were simply outmatched, but Sitkowski appeared to settle into the game against Texas State.

Reports indicate that Sitkowski dodged a bullet and will not miss extensive time after suffering an injury against Ohio State last weekend. Paced by a strong running game and most likely a conservative passing attack, he will play mistake-free football on Saturday in a Rutgers win.
