Stop No. 11 of 14 had us visiting Rutgers to watch Kyle Flood's Scarlet Knights scrimmage at High Point Solutions Stadium.
After the scrimmage, our bus traveled west toward Columbus, Ohio, where we will watch the defending national champs practice Monday night.
Get host Dave Revsine, BTN analyst Gerry DiNardo and BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart's tweets from the Rutgers scrimmage below.
Had a good chat w Kyle Flood - good camp, pretty healthy. Wants QB derby wrapped up in next few days.

Both QB's have played well for RU tonight - both eminently capable of running the team. Not an easy call - but beats alternative

Impressive individuals yesterday included both QB's - both had their moments and both are capable of running team successfully - tough call

Justin Goodwin had the best run of the night - punctuated by a great spin move. Pleased to see Paul James running w 1's and looking good too

Janarion Grant hauled in a beautiful deep ball from Rettig - need him to step up as a complement to Carroo

Dontae Owens also looked good - had a beautiful catch along the sideline on a well thrown pass from Laviano

The addition of South Carolina transfer Kaiwan Lewis is huge for the LB crew - will move right into a starting role on unit that lacks depth

Hayden Rettig starts with first-team offense for @RFootball. pic.twitter.com/EMlYxha2WC

18 players on injury list for @RFootball, including Darius Hamilton and Kemoko Turay.

Leonte Carroo is being "held out." Not hurt, I am told. Several other good WRs. I like 6-6 Carlton Agudosi. Patton and Grant nice targets.
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 23, 2015
Not sure the @RFootball QB situation was cleared up tonight. Chris Laviano and Hayden Rettig both had their moments.
