Believe it or not, when you break down everything that happened in Rutgers 24-7 loss to Illinois yesterday, there were a significant amount of positive things that happened in the game. The problem was the negative things that did occur, completely cancelled out everything else. Turnovers, a lack of execution, and mistakes at the worst times, sunk any chance Rutgers had of winning this game. And yet, the sun came up on this bright Sunday morning. Let’s all exhale and commiserate over all that took place during an extremely disappointing loss on Homecoming.
- Rutgers had 387 total yards of offense, outgaining Illinois by 67 yards.
