Football Defeats Howard, 58-7
- Rutgers' official Howard recap records 534 total yards, with 268 passing and 266 rushing, and no sacks allowed in the 58-7 win. Dylan Lonergan finished 12-for-17 for 214 yards and two touchdowns; Antwan Raymond ran for 140 yards and three scores. These are full-game figures against Howard, not a settled quarterback decision for Indiana.
- Rutgers posted a season-high four sacks against Howard. Keshon Griffin forced a fumble on a sack, DJ Allen recovered it, and Moses Walker had 2.5 tackles for loss and half a sack. These are observed Howard-game defensive results, not a new scheme or a forecast for Indiana.

***Ask the Staff: Thursday Edition***
- OL/LB: The offensive line was pretty settled at six players this past weekend and was overall solid against one of the best defensive lines it will face this season.

Five Rutgers players we want to see more of against Howard
- Injury: Bobby, with all my non football experience!, think the defense should play GNAGO at both defensive end positions, give him the full game to get as many reps as possible.

Five Rutgers players we want to see more of against Howard
- Rutgers linebacker Abram Wright started against USC after missing the first two games of 2026 and recorded four tackles, but he did not play every defensive snap. The writer wants the Howard game used to build toward a fuller workload; this is not a staff announcement that he will take every snap against Howard.
- The Rutgers report identifies true freshman Devonte Anderson as the current No. 3 cornerback and describes him as a boundary fit. The writer sees a chance for him to reach the top two by season's end if he develops through game reps; that is a projection, not an announced promotion for the Howard game.
- Rutgers' Chris Vigna started at left guard against UMass, then spent time at both tackle spots over the next two games. He did not start against USC but still played, and the report leaves his eventual position unsettled. More Howard snaps are the writer's proposed evaluation opportunity, not a confirmed new starting assignment.
