  • Simply put, Rutgers is a better team based on its record. The Knights have won 3 conference games while Indiana has notched just one and Rutgers won its matchup with Maryland, a team Indiana couldn’t beat.
  • Rutgers has shown it can defend the run. The Knights held Saquon Barkley to 35 yards this past week, and in a game in which Rutgers had “similar talent” to its opponent, Rutgers held Maryland’s two running backs under 100 yards.
