PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Gavin Wimsatt ran for two touchdowns and passed for a third and Kyle Monangai added 87 rushing yards and a touchdown to lead Rutgers to a commanding non-conference 52-3 win over FCS-member Wagner on Saturday.
Rutgers scored on all of its eight full possessions of the game. The only time it failed to score was when its drive ended due to half time. The Scarlet Knights have outscored Wagner 118-10 in two straight games. They knocked them off 66-7 last season in Piscataway. Wimsatt completed 12 of 19 passes for 146 yards. Monangai entered the game second in the Big Ten Conference in rushing with 384 yards.
Heading into the bulk of its Big Ten Conference schedule, Rutgers needs only two victories to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2014, when it defeated North Carolina 40-21 in the Quick Lane Bowl. The Scarlet Knights went to the TaxSlayer Bowl in 2021, but were a replacement for Texas A&M, who were unable to play due to COVID-19. Rutgers was 5-7 during the regular season, failing to get the necessary six wins for post-season consideration.
