As the final seconds dwindled from Rutgers' 24-17 loss to Indiana on Saturday, Pat Hobbs made a beeline to the end zone where the Scarlet Knights huddled for the playing of the alma mater.
The Rutgers Athletics Director shook hands with various players and coaches, then walked off with the team up the tunnel toward the locker room.
"I love our kids, our coaches, our fight, our work ethic,'' Hobbs told NJ Advance Media in a quiet moment shortly after the Scarlet Knights fell to 1-4 overall and 0-2 in Big Ten play.
