Proud of the team. Certainly the best squad we’ve had in years.
Football INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers defeats Miami 31-24 in Pinstripe Bowl
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Miami went into the offseason with 2 TOs.
Congrats to the team.
Great season.
Hopefully the beginning!

In case you didn't hear the TV call, the announcer did the John Sterling "Scarlet Knights win! theeeeee Scarlet Knights winnn here at Yankee Stadium"
Maybe they'll start next year with 5 TOs the first game?
Funny thought - what if TOs were allocated by season and not game.
You get 36 TOs to start the season and use as you see fit.
Bowl games get additional 3 for bowl game plus whatever you carry over from the season.
Once bowl eligible you can ration use TOs anticipating a bowl game.
Didn’t see that coming after the end of 1st half and start of the 3rd. Miami went into a shell and we capitalized on it. Really happy to see Longerbeam making the sealing play after getting popped by a hack earlier.
The Northwestern and Virginia Tech wins were good wins.
Blocked kick just wrecked them
INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers defeats Miami 31-24 in Pinstripe Bowl
Rutgers ends its season on a high note after defeating Miami 31-24 in the Pinstripe Bowl.
No. It IS a big deal.
Just imagine if the opposite was true - we LOST to each of those teams!!!
Beating them all is VERY significant
Schiano used all three TOs and Cristobal kept 2 TOs. Maybe it is good we didn't get Cristobal as a coach
Monangai needs the well deserved rest so he can come back next year even stronger. He carried the offensive load this year. Team MVP IMO.
Let's get a little more variety on the offense to complement him next year. It starts with an improved passing game. Whatever it takes to improve that, get it done.

For all who say these bowl games don’t matter, I hope you are watching the Rutgers players right now. It matters to them.
A lot
A lot
Well, we are getting a few good receivers next year
Great win! BUT we need a QB off the portal
It was fixin to be another Mona Lisa of clock mismanagement by Cristobol, but the onsides recovery bailed him out. Now it's just another sloppy job.
Great way to end the season by finally defeating Miami .Congratulations to the coaching staff and players.
First football win ever against the Canes. Lost eleven straight to them by an average of five touchdowns. This is not your SAME OLD RUTGERS. KUDOS TO COACH AND THE TEAM.
Threw Mario back on the hot seat.lol
I think we get a few more Florida recruits in the future.

So happy with this win - I don’t care if it’s not the same Miami of the Big East years, it’s still huge win.
I’m extra happy that we finished 7-6 and my son’s school finished 6-7 (he goes to Rice - not Miami)
Kid was trash talking me all year 😂😂

Had the exact makings of our typical second half blowouts until then, D was juiced from then on.
Hopefully we can close out some of our conference games in similar fashion next year.
Can we afford one who would be an upgrade? Also, in fairness to Gavin the kid was a highly ranked recruit who loves Rutgers. We were so excited to have him. Does his inaccuracy speak more to coaching and development being the problem?
Gavin threw much better today. Didn’t sail the ball. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.
Sure he did. Fastballs over receivers twice in the first half…and IIRC no completions in the second half. He’s bad.
Coaching was good enough to go bowling and win.
As for Gavin, expect improvement because expecting anything else is not what true fans should be doing when talking about players on the team they are claiming to be fans of.
Some players develop their talent slower than others , Wimsatt might be that way and in 2024 will finally put it together
Post game on espn+
Cut away after Schiano took trophy
Missed another good 5-10 mins on stage
Big W. Good taste in mouth all off season
Already excited for sept 2024.

Say what you want about Greg's philosophy but the guy knows how to bowl!
Huge accomplishment getting back to a bowl and finishing with a winning record vs a program that shitkicked us a decade in the Big East

He was 7 for 15 for 84 yards. That is certainly not throwing the ball better. It is amazing we won 7 games without having a threat at quarterback.

I wasn't looking to touch on the negative's out of the gate........but since they are already out there.
It's interesting weighing Schiano's inability to develop a QB(and this goes back to the tail end of his first stint) and his ability to get to, and win, a bowl game with such ineffective play at the position.

But- we only had 3 wins against winning P5 teams - oh wait- 2 of them - Vatech/Mia
Gavin did enough to help the team win
If course we must give Monangai the most credit and also admit Shiano built a bowl worthy team this year.
But I can't knock any player involved in beating Miami in the Pinstripe and the 7-6 record that ended years of losing records.
But I can understand how some feel they must lessen the feeling of joy because they aren't used to it and have a need to look for flaws in the team so they don't enjoy beating Miami too much and start expecting good things for Rutgers in 2024.
