Watch: Former Rutgers commit Ihmir Smith-Marsette opens scoring for Iowa against Scarlet Knights
The last time Iowa and Rutgers played, in 2016, Ihmir Smith-Marsette was at the game as a Rutgers recruit.
A lot has changed in three years.
Smith-Marsette, a Newark, N.J., native, is now a Hawkeye, and he burned the Scarlet Knights on the first possession of Saturday's game at Kinnick Stadium.
The Iowa junior receiver got past the Rutgers secondary and hauled in a 58-yard touchdown pass from Nate Stanley to give the Hawkeyes a 7-0 lead.
