Coming off a much-needed bye week, Rutgers (4-4, 1-4 Big Ten) was able to get back on the winning track with a 20-14 victory over Illinois.
Although the Fighting Illini came in with a vaunted rushing attack, it was the Scarlet Knights’ running game who took over as they out rushed Illinois 230-107.
Perhaps the biggest play of the game came when Gavin Wimsatt came in and completed a critical fourth-down pass to Bo Melton that led to a TD to put Rutgers up 17-14.
With the win, Rutgers improves to 10-5 in its last 15 games after a bye under Greg Schiano.
