The #6 West Virginia Mountaineers came north to Piscataway, NJ and Rutgers Stadium to take on their BIG EAST rival the Scarlet Knights. After knocking off the #2 team in the form of South Florida last week and playing WVU to a triple overtime loss last December, the Scarlet Knights must have thought they could pull off yet another big upset. It was not to be.
Steve Slaton ran for just 73 yards but scored 3 TDs and Patrick White ran for 156 yards and 1 TD as the Mountaineers beat the Knights for the 13th consecutive time.
Junior Ray Rice rushed 30 times for Rutgers and gained 142 yards. Rice became the first player in RU history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in three seasons. Unfortunately for RU, Mike Teel suffered 2 INTs and RU lost 2 fumbles in a game that was played in a heavy rain for the first half. While the rain stopped at halftime, the field remained wet.
WVU improves to 7-1, 2-1 in BIG EAST.
RU falls to 5-3, 2-2.
