After getting blown out at home by Ohio State, a two-game trip to the Midwest might seem like a vacation for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
At Wisconsin this weekend, at Michigan the next.
Rutgers (3-4, 1-3, Big Ten) only wants wins, not pity.
''It's not supposed to be easy. I don't want it to be easy,'' linebacker Steve Longa said. ''I want to see how I measure against the best out there and that's what it's about.''
Next up for Longa and his teammates is trying to beat the Badgers (6-2, 3-1) on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
