LOOK: Players from Rutgers spend time with patients at local children's hospital
The Rutgers football team used the day before Saturday’s matchup against Indiana as an opportunity to connect with the community.
On Friday, members of the Scarlet Knights football team visited the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital, engaging with several patients in a variety of ways.
Players took photos, played games and interacted with several children in the hospital. The official Twitter account from Rutgers tweeted out several of those images on Friday afternoon.

That’s a tremendous gesture from the Scarlet Knights and a day that many children and families will truly appreciate.
Rutgers is scheduled to take on Indiana on Saturday afternoon in Piscataway. Both teams are still searching for their first B1G win of the season.
