We can’t all be Alabama.

The Crimson Tide are seemingly always ranked No. 1 in the country at some point during the college football season. There are teams a notch below, maybe two notches below, and well, perhaps three notches.

Rutgers, who was 1-3 coming into Week 4, suffered another loss — this time to Indiana. Rutgers was at home, but trailed at halftime 24-7. The Scarlet Knights couldn’t overcome the deficit and are now 1-4.

Rutgers has also lost to Kansas by 41 and Buffalo by 29. It hasn’t been a pretty season.

After the game, though, Rutgers athletic director Patrick Hobbs was proud of the team’s “fight.”

We’re not entirely sure what this means, but, a 7-point loss surely beats losing to teams by 30 and 40. There is some improvement happening.

Rutgers has to host Illinois on Oct. 6. The Fighting Illini are currently 2-2 overall.
