Live-Blogging Big Ten Football: Iowa Hawkeyes at Rutgers Scarlet Knights 09/24/2022

​Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Football’. Tonight, it is a Big Ten Football matchup, between Iowa Hawkeyes and Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
 
Hawkeyes bounced back from their loss to Iowa State a couple of weeks ago, by shutting out Nevada Last Week. In the Big Ten West, where Hawkeyes have Wisconsin and a down Nebraska Program, they would like to improve on that win in their Big Ten Opener against Rutgers.
 
It is also the Big Ten Opener, for the Scarlet Knights.  They are off to a fast start and would like to continue their Big Ten portion of their schedule. But trying to win the Big East for the Piscataway Research University is easier said than done, when Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State are in your division.
 
Hawkeyes are led by Spencer Petras in passing. Kaleb Johnson is Iowa’s leading rusher. And Arland Bruce, IV is the Iowa City University’s leading receiver.
 
As for Rutgers, they are led by Evan Simon in passing. Kyle Monanagai leads the Scarlet Knights in rushing. While Aron Cruickshank leads the New Jersey University in receiving.
 
It is Iowa Hawkeyes and Rutgers Scarlet Knights, coming up shortly.

Final Thoughts:
Hawkeyes Defense carried the offense in this 27-10 victory over Scarlet Knights. They forced 3 turnovers which turned into 14 Iowa points.

For the Scarlet Knights, they only had two good drives. And those drives turned into 10 points. But Rutgers revolving door at quarterback didn't help them score more against that vaunted Hawkeye Defense.

Iowa will head back home to host Michigan. While Rutgers will head to Columbus, to face Ohio State Buckeyes. Both games will be played, Next Saturday.
