Rutgers football vs. Miami: TV, time, what to know as Scarlet Knights play in Pinstripe Bowl

After more than three weeks of talking about the Pinstripe Bowl and more than three weeks of practicing for it, Rutgers football is finally on the verge of actually taking the field against Miami at Yankee Stadium.

The Scarlet Knights, who are looking to earn their seventh win of the season, became bowl eligible back in October, a significant step for the program as it continues to rebuild.

And having the chance to play in a bowl game so close to Piscataway is an added luxury.

“I think it’s just overall excitement,” running back Kyle Monangai said. “I think it’s going to be a big and great turnout for a lot of Rutgers Nation to come out, and it’s going to be like a home game. It’s real close for us. I think we’re the away team, but it’s going to feel like a home game for us, definitely.”

It will be Rutgers’ 12^th appearance in a bowl game and third time playing in the Pinstripe Bowl, the only bowl the Scarlet Knights have participated in more than once.

Greg Schiano’s team earned traditional bowl eligibility (six wins during the regular season) for the first time since 2014.

“We take every (game as a thing 1-0 season,” defensive tackle Mayan Ahanotu said, “and we’re just happy and blessed that we’re on the right side of things and being able to get a chance to play another down.”
