PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Leonte Carroo caught three third-quarter touchdown passes after sitting out a first-half suspension and set a school record as Rutgers overcame the distractions of an academic investigation involving coach Kyle Flood and the dismissal of five arrested players in a 63-13 win over Norfolk State on Saturday.

Carroo, who was benched because of a curfew violation, caught touchdown passes of 55, 56 and 18 yards from Chris Laviano in a 28-point third quarter that broke the game open.
