Rutgers believes it has turned a corner with week-to-week improvement

Was looking at the size of both teams up front and honestly it’s not as bad of a matchup as I thought.
Rutgers OL averages around 6’4 311 and Indiana is about 6’5 310. Indiana has more length, but they’re really not any bigger than us weight wise. Same on the DL. Rutgers is actually a little bigger there too, around 281 per guy compared to 276 for Indiana. We also have a bunch of 300+ pound guys we can rotate inside.
Obviously size doesn’t mean they’re as good. Indiana’s OL is experienced and has played at a really high level. That’s probably the biggest difference. But at least this isn’t one of those games where you look at the two teams and Rutgers is just completely overmatched physically. We have the size to play with them up front. Whether we actually do it is another story lol.
