The Rutgers football team gets a much needed bye week after playing eight games in a row since September 3rd. Along with Iowa, they are the last two Big Ten teams to have a bye week this season. After a gut wrenching, last minute loss to Minnesota, it is great timing for Rutgers to heal and restore their confidence for the stretch run of the season.
The month of November includes four East divisional opponents to conclude the 2016 season. The first game back is November 5th against the only conference opponent Rutgers has beaten twice, Indiana.
