Rutgers (1-4, 0-2 Big Ten) lost again last week, this time 24-17 in a game that was a lot closer than most of us thought it would be when Indiana (4-1, 2-1) led the Scarlet Knights by 17 points at halftime. Was the second half -- in which RU outscored the visiting Hoosiers 10-0 -- an anomaly, or a sign of a program taking strides?
Was going with Artur Sitkowski the right decision? Simply, yes. There are indeed growing pains for the true freshman quarterback Artur Sitkowski. His stat line of 18-for-35 with 154 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception is not all that impressive on its own, but it’s better than what it has been in the past.
