Week Six: Rutgers

OCT 12 (SAT) 12:00 PM ET
BLOOMINGTON, IND.

It’s homecoming for Indiana and they welcome in the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers to Bloomington.

Despite not having won a homecoming game since 2010, this Indiana team seems different and destined to have a good season.

Like Indiana, Rutgers is in a quarterback competition through camp and could see either McLane Carter, Texas Tech transfer, or Artur Sitkowski, the returning starter, be under center this season.

Rutgers is making strides to be competitive, but are still a couple of years away from seeing their progress pay off.

Indiana will continue their winning ways in this one.

Losing to Rutgers for their 2016 homecoming game by three, I fully expect Indiana to get revenge for that game and take down the Scarlet Knights rather easily.

Prediction: Indiana 31, Rutgers 14
