Rutgers Triumphs Over Miami in Pinstripe Bowl

Victory marks Rutgers' first bowl game win since 2014, highlighting Coach Greg Schiano's successful turnaround of the program.

Rutgers defeated Miami 31-24 in the Pinstripe Bowl, marking the program's first bowl game win since the 2014 season.
Rutgers' running back Kyle Monangai dominated the game with 163 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, adding 17 more yards as a receiver.
Despite some early issues with penalties, Rutgers' defense played a significant role in the victory, stifling a Miami offense that entered the contest averaging 32.1 points per game.
Miami was significantly handicapped with the absence of starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke and his deputy, Emory Williams, along with almost 10 other starters on both sides of the ball.
Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano has been praised for turning around a team that went 2-10 before his first season back to the school in 2020.
