Rutgers went to Bloomington in hopes of spoiling Indiana’s Homecoming, but instead were the toast of the party. After fumbling the first play from scrimmage, leading to the Hoosiers recovering it and waltzing in for a touchdown, it was clear another long day within a lost season was upon us. Soon after, Indiana scored a touchdown on their first two drives of the day after Rutgers punts and the score was 21-0 less than seven minutes into the game.
While the Scarlet Knights didn’t quit, as they didn’t surrender any more points until the first Hoosier drive of the second half, the reality this program is so far behind a team that is likely to finish no better than fifth in their own division.
