Rutgers football plays at an Indiana team that is much stronger than their record would indicate.
The Scarlet Knights are off to a strong start (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) are one win away from bowl eligibility. They face an Indiana program that at 2-4 (0-3 Big Ten) has struggled this year while playing a very strong schedule.
So far this season, Indiana has played two teams ranked top five in the nation.
Saturday’s Week 8 game will mark the tenth meeting between Rutgers and Indiana since the Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten Conference in 2014. The Scarlet Knights are 4-5 against the Hoosiers but have won the last two matchups.
