Rutgers football got a big redzone turnover, with defensive end Aaron Lewis and cornerback Max Melton combining to create a big turnover for the Scarlet Knights in their game at Wisconsin.
With Rutgers down 3-0 early in the second quarter, Lewis and Melton stripped Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen. Melton recovered the ball on the Rutgers 6-yard line.
