The No. 19 Scarlet Knights continued their unbeaten string (now 7-0) by traveling to Pittsburgh and downing the Pitt Panthers 20-10. RU improves to 2-0 in Big East play while the Panthers drop to 2-1 (6-2, overall).
After being held to less than 100 yards rushing by Navy last week, Ray Rice exploded for a career high 225 yards on 39 carries with one TD on a 63-yard run. The Sophomore Rice has surpassed the 1,000 yard mark for his second year. It is the fourth time Rice has rushed for more than 200 yards in just 19 career games.
Mike Teel threw for 72 yards and one TD (to Tiquan Underwood) while completing 10 passes in 18 attempts. And he threw no interceptions.
Brian Leonard caught a pass for the 41st consecutive game setting a new Big East record. He also tied the school record for career receptions, catching his 192nd pass.
Jeremy Ito made two field goals in the first half for the only scoring by either team as RU took the 6-0 lead into the break. Junior Ito has now connected on 45 field goals and is just one shy of the school record.
Rutgers remains one of the few unbeaten teams in the nation—and one of THREE in the Big East.

Next Sunday night, Rutgers plays at home against UConn (3-4, 0-2 in the Big East) in a game to be televised by ESPN at 8:00 PM EST.
My Father sent me to Old Rutgers
And resolved that I should be a man.
And so I settled down
In that noisy college town
On the banks of the Old Raritan.
On the banks of the Old Raritan, my boys,
On the banks of the Old Raritan.
And so I settled down
In that noisy college town
On the banks of the Old Raritan.
