Piscataway – One more win.
That’s all Rutgers football needs to do what it hasn’t done in nine years: win a sixth game and qualify for a bowl.
It would be a big step in the Scarlet Knights’ rebuild and continue what has been a strong campaign thus far for Greg Schiano’s team.
Rutgers will look for its sixth win on Saturday against the Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana.
The Scarlet Knights came away with an emotional 27-24 come-from-behind victory over Michigan State, but Indiana lost to Michigan 52-7.
The Hoosiers are 2-4, 0-3 against Big Ten opponents, but Rutgers coach Greg Schiano emphasized Monday that Indiana is better than its record suggests.
Either way, the Scarlet Knights will need to play better than they did Saturday, when Michigan State led 24-6 before Rutgers fought back with three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Scarlet Knights made too many mistakes and penalties that nearly cost them dearly.
Rutgers can’t afford a repeat.
They don’t have the luxury of running the ball like they did against MSU.
“They’re a talented defense,” quarterback Gavin Wimsatt said. “They know how to get the ball away. You can see it on film, they’re coached to get the ball away. They’re big and physical. They’re a Big Ten team. We’re going to prepare. We’ve got to keep it up. Road games.” The Big Ten is always tough. ”
