Rutgers Ends 21-Game Big Ten Losing Streak with Win over Michigan State

Greg Schiano is apparently the only person able to do the impossible: turn Rutgers into a winning football program.

Schiano's second tenure with the Scarlet Knights got off to the best possible start, as visiting Rutgers earned a 38-27 win over Michigan State.

The Knights entered Saturday having lost their last 21 Big Ten games, the country's longest in-conference losing streak for a Power Five team.

Michigan State all but handed the game to Rutgers, turning the ball over seven times—highlighted by a ghastly five fumbles. Including turnovers on downs, eight of the Spartans' 15 drives ended that way.
