Kyle Monangai - Matches career-high Thursday Monangai recorded 19 rushes for 165 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 44-7 victory versus Howard. He also caught one pass for no gain. Impact Monangai and the Scarlet Knights had their way against the Howard defense, tallying 329 team rushing yards on 46 total carries. The senior and reigning Big Ten rushing leader ended his night early in the third quarter with a seven-yard rushing touchdown that put Rutgers up 24-7, and he finished with 8.7 yards per carry himself and tied his career high for rushing yards from last year against Temple. With a deep room of running backs, Monangai likely won't get too much usage in any blowouts for the Scarlet Knights going forward. But, he should have no problme putting up strong numbers once again versus Akron on Saturday, Sept. 7.
