So the final gun fired at Rutgers’ home stadium, with the Hokies having put up 16 points against Rutgers’ 35. The defense spent less time on the field, but their poor tackling skills showed along with their problems dealing with running back keying, and backside coverage.
Rutgers star running back Kyle Monangai blasted the Hokies for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground. QB Gavin Wimsett scored once on the ground and ran for 87 yards he did pass for a touchdown but passing ended up not being as important (46 total yards) as his and Monangai’s legs.
