On September 27th, 2025, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-1) will travel to Huntington Bank Stadium to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-1) in a crucial Big Ten Conference matchup.

While Rutgers struggled to run the ball, they did find the end zone four times on the ground, led by two touchdowns from Antwan Raymond.
Minnesota, on the other hand, is coming off a week of rest after suffering its first loss of the season on September 13th. The Gophers were leading California 14-10 late in the third quarter, but the Golden Bears scored 17 unanswered points to win 27-14. The Minnesota ground game was solid in that game, with Fame Ijeboi rushing for 85 yards on 16 carries.
This matchup between the Scarlet Knights and Golden Gophers promises to be an exciting Big Ten clash, as both teams look to bounce back from their first losses of the season and gain an advantage in the conference standings.
