For fans tuning in, the anticipation was palpable. With Kyle Monangai in the lineup, Rutgers was poised for a remarkable performance. While the team faced adversity due to several key injuries, the Scarlet Knights rose to the occasion, showcasing their depth and resilience with a decisive 49-17 victory over the Zips, leaving fans buzzing with excitement.
From the outset, it was clear that Rutgers was ready to dominate.
