When you look at the final score in Indiana's win over Rutgers, it's pretty lopsided. The Hoosiers seem to be firing on all cylinders and that really showed in Piscataway. The Hoosier defense was lights out for almost the entire four quarters, but a broken play and some garbage time resulted in the Scarlet Knights scoring 15 points. Still, a 47-15 final in favor of IU has Curt Cignetti pretty pleased as we move into the month of October.
