Rutgers athletics might have had the last three days off, but make no mistake about it: their past week was jam-packed. Fans of the Scarlet Knights are aware of the struggles Rutgers has gone through in football, losing three straight to ranked Big Ten opponents.

As usual, the rest of the Olympic/team sports continue to make waves in their respective sports. The fall season is certainly being paced by women’s soccer and field hockey, both of which are top 10 respectively in the national polls and are dominating in Big Ten play.

Men’s soccer as well as women’s volleyball are also having very solid seasons.

Let’s look back at the week that was in Rutgers athletics.

After much anticipation, Week 5 of the Rutgers football season has come and gone and although the dust settled after 60 minutes, the result was settled early into this Big Ten contest. Rutgers was hopeful they could build on the momentum they were able to build after a very strong second half the week prior against Michigan but their efforts were to no avail.

The Scarlet Knights lost to No. 7 Ohio State in a game that truly never felt close. With a final score of 52-13, this was a stark reminder that while Rutgers has surprised some folks this year with how strong they looked, they are still a rebuilding program.
