The offense remains a work-in-progress for Rutgers but any step in the right direction is important.
When the Scarlet Knights handed the keys to Nunzio Campanile prior to the bye week, the big question was how the unit was going to run. It was not going to turn into a juggernaut in one week but fans needed to see improvement.
In a 24-17 victory over Indiana, the Scarlet Knights racked up 305 total yards, including 192 on the ground. Most importantly, Rutgers was able to take care of the football.
“The key that we thought to win this game was to make sure we don’t turn the football over and keep their offense on the sideline,” head coach Greg Schiano said during his postgame press conference.
