Rutgers cannot overcome turnovers in 27-10 loss in Big Ten opener against Iowa

Do not turn the ball over and give a struggling offense a spark. Rutgers’ offense vs. an elite Iowa defense. Something has to give. Many things were said going into this matchup.

“The ball is the program” — words that we hear from Greg Schiano and the Rutgers football program.

On Saturday night, the program let them down. The Scarlet Knights turned the ball over three times in front of a sold-out crowd at SHI Stadium during a 27-10 loss to Iowa to open Big Ten play.

Rutgers came out with an impressive drive of 12 plays to get a field goal on the board against Iowa’s defense.
