BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Noah Vedral is good to go, but Rutgers’ linebackers corps will be quite short-handed.
The Rutgers quarterback is dressed and expected to start here Saturday against Indiana at Memorial Stadium (12 p.m. ET, BTN). But on the other side of the ball, linebackers Olakunle Fatukasi, Tyshon Fogg and Tyreek Maddox-Williams are all out.
Vedral’s availability is not a surprise -- he said earlier in the week he planned to play -- but head coach Greg Schiano had declined to commit to it during his final meeting with reporters prior to the game.
