The game against the Spartans highlighted several areas where Rutgers excelled. Their rushing offense was particularly effective, with four touchdowns contributing significantly to their total score. The defense also made its presence felt by forcing five fumbles and recovering four, alongside two interceptions. This aggressive defense could be a critical factor in disrupting Indiana's game plan.


Special teams played an essential role as well, with a 100 percent success rate in both field goals and extra points attempts. Punting was effective too; they managed to place three punts inside the 20-yard line out of six attempts, which helped control field position throughout the game.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Rutgers. They committed nine penalties for 66 yards which could have been costly on another day. Ball security will also be an area of focus after losing two fumbles against Michigan State.


Looking ahead to the matchup with Indiana Hoosiers at SHI Stadium, maintaining discipline and capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key for Rutgers. The home advantage may play into their hands as they look to build upon their current record.
