Rutgers football routed by Indiana, falls to 1-4 | Instant analysis

Rutgers dropped to a record of one win and four losses following a lopsided forty-seven to fifteen defeat against fifth-ranked Indiana on Saturday, October third. Playing at SHI Stadium, Greg Schiano's squad struggled defensively as the visiting team accumulated five hundred ninety-five total yards, led by standout rushing performances from Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Junior alongside four touchdown passes from Josh Hoover.

During the first half, starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan departed due to an apparent injury and was succeeded by AJ Surace, who later connected with Ben Black on a fifty-three-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Following this difficult outcome, the team managed only two hundred fifty-four yards of offense and will now enter a much-needed bye week to address defensive vulnerabilities before facing Maryland.
