Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Rutgers - Opponent Preview

Losers of three straight, the Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-3) host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (4-3) on Saturday, Oct. 29, at 1:30 p.m. CT at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Can Rutgers score on offense?

Head coach Greg Schiano fired offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson six games into the season after Rutgers lost, 14-13, to Nebraska. It was the Scarlet Knights’ third straight loss and the offense had averaged 11 points per game during that stretch.

Tight ends coach Nunzio Campanile, who you might remember from the Gophers’ visit to Piscataway in 2019 when was he serving as interim head coach, got the promotion to offensive coordinator after Gleeson’s firing.
