In other sports news, Rutgers' basketball team had a close game against St. John's, losing 89-78 in double overtime. However, Rutgers' women's soccer team had a successful game, defeating Northwestern 1-0 and inching closer to clinching the Big Ten regular season title.
Rutgers football is back in a bowl game, back to beating every team it should beat, back to being relevant. The Scarlet Knights confirmed all of that on Saturday by running right over a helpless Indiana team. This week's film review: https://t.co/g1NQ2Uo3HM
Halftime at Bauer: No. 4 Rutgers 1, No. Northwestern 0. The Scarlet Knights are 30 minutes from clinching a share of the Big Ten regular season title and almost certainly earning the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and the No. 1 ranking in this week’s coaches poll.
Off of its first corner of the game, Rutgers opens the scoring. Scarlet Knights lead No. 1 Northwestern, 1-0, with five minutes to go in the first quarter. https://t.co/3JDS58PTw3

Rutgers wins their way to a bowl game for the first time since 2014! LET’S GOOOOO. @RFootball https://t.co/z3msEtINRe
On Oct. 21, Rutgers is bowl-eligible.
Rutgers defense gets a fourth down stop as Indiana turns it over on downs with 11 minutes left in the game. Hoosies have just 213 yards of total offense.
Brutal half for Rutgers in its charity exhibition trailing St. John’s 42-23 after an 0-11 start from three-point range. 10 turnovers and shooting 29% from the floor. Cliff Omoruyi 8 points (3-3 FG) and 7 boards. Johnnies shooting 45% and +4 on the boards.
St. John's leads Rutgers, 42-23, at the half. 10 players have scored, led by Jenkins' 10. Rutgers 0-for-10 from 3. #sjubb
Half: St. John's 41, Rutgers 23 RU shot 0-of-11 from 3-point range, committed 10 turnovers. Standing ovation from Johnnies fans. Their defense was elite.
Rutgers is up 31-14 on Indiana early in the fourth quarter. Scarlet Knights are a win away from bowl eligibility for the first time since 2014.* (*Played in a bowl as a 5-7 emergency replacement team after the 2021 season)
Who would have thought that Rutgers would be 6-2 eight weeks in the season and bowl eligible? Not official yet but the scarlet knights lead Indiana 31-14 with 13 minutes left
U12: St. John's 20, Rutgers 13. Scarlet Knights slow down the turnovers and close the gap slightly. Jamichael Davis had a nice drive and finish at the rim.
Gavin Wimsatt runs it in from the 1 yard line for the second time today as Rutgers leads Indiana 24-14 midway third quarter. Tremendous drive to open the second half 12 plays, 75 yards and took over six minutes off the clock. Key fourth down completion by Wimsatt.
U16: St. John's 13, Rutgers 6. Good news: Rutgers is 3/4 on 2s thus far. Bad news: Scarlet Knights are getting killed on the press (4 turnovers), missed both threes they took and are having tough time stopping SJU inside (4/4 on 2s).
It is very early in the third quarter for Indiana's defense to look so tired. But Rutgers has 49 snaps to IU's 24, and the Scarlet Knights are pushing 25 minutes TOP to the Hoosiers' ~11. Offense has to balance this out or the defense will run out of gas. #iufb
Big play upcoming. Rutgers going for it on 4th-and-4 in IU territory. #iufb
Rutgers could only muster a 21 yard field goal by Jai Patel but take the lead at halftime 17-14 over Indiana. A lack of creativity and rhythm on offense let the Hoosiers back into the game. Both teams have 143 total yards. RU TOP 19 min & gets the ball to begin second half.
HALFTIME: Field goal good. IU's defense holds Rutgers to three after the special teams mistake. Scarlet Knights lead 17-14 at the break. #iufb
Indiana ties it up 14-14 as Sorsby runs it in for a touchdown. Rutgers has multiple starters who have walked off the field banged up. Key moment in the game with 2:50 left in the first half.
Rutgers gets bowl-eligible with a win against Indiana — and the Scarlet Knights lead. https://t.co/VkudV7wfxV
