All three units for Rutgers had their moments in yesterday’s 33-27 loss to Indiana. The special teams blocked two field goals and forced a fumble on a kickoff return that they recovered. The defense forced three turnovers and scored a touchdown in a second consecutive game. On offense, quarterback Gio Rescigno threw a 68 yard touchdown to Andre Patton in the 1st quarter. However, in terms of big plays and sustained drives on offense, they were few and far between, which put too much pressure on the defense and sank any chance Rutgers had to win the game.
Let’s take a look at some key stats that lead to the loss:
- On 18 possessions on offense, Rutgers went three and out on 10 of them.
