On Saturday afternoon, Rutgers throttled Indiana 38-3, bringing the Scarlet Knights one game closer to bowl eligibility.

The Rutgers Marching band was in Indianapolis for Grand Nationals, and it worked out that the band was able to play and go to the game in Bloomington on Saturday.

Scarlet Knights head coach Greg Schiano was very appreciative of the band being able to make it. He applauded the Scarlet Knights spirit squad as well.

You can watch the video of Schiano being grateful for the spirit squad and the band down below:

The Scarlet Knights were able to sing the fight song with the band after the win on the road.

Rutgers is sitting at 5-5 on the year and 2-5 in the conference with 2 games left. The Scarlet Knights are at Penn State this weekend and then welcome Maryland into Piscataway for the season’s final game.

The Scarlet Knights could reach bowl eligibility for the first time since its inaugural season in the B1G. They won the Quick Lane Bowl against North Carolina 40-21.
