Iowa Defeats Rutgers 38-28 in Record-Setting Big Ten Opener
Rutgers suffered their first loss of the 2025 season, falling 38-28 to Iowa in their Big Ten opener at SHI Stadium before a record crowd. Despite strong offensive performances from quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis and receiver Ian Strong, Rutgers was undone by costly mistakes including six penalties, missed and blocked field goals, and a late interception that led to the game-winning Iowa touchdown. Iowa's running game proved dominant, with quarterback Mark Gronowski rushing for three touchdowns and the team totaling 163 rushing yards, exposing Rutgers' struggling run defense. The Scarlet Knights' mistakes, especially a crucial defensive holding penalty late in the fourth quarter, allowed Iowa to extend their final drive and seal the victory. Rutgers showed offensive promise with Kaliakmanis throwing for 330 yards and Strong posting a career-high 151 yards, but the defensive lapses and special teams errors ultimately cost them the game. This loss marks a setback for Rutgers' season outlook as they navigate Big Ten play under head coach Greg Schiano.
