Minnesota wins as expected against Rutgers 42-7

Minnesota defeated Rutgers to move to 7-0 on the season and 4-0 in Big Ten play.

Let’s be clear, the game was decided as soon as the kickoff happened. Rutgers is a horrific excuse for a football team, and the outcome of the game was a foregone conclusion. Minnesota played down to their competition in the first half, but cleaned up enough to put up 42 points.

Tanner Morgan had a down game today, finishing 15/28 for 245 and two touchdowns. Morgan could have had much more, but missed on several throws to open receivers.
