Officially a blowout.

It’s now 24-17 Rutgers with 10:21 to go in the third quarter.

Good half for Rutgers’ offense, which has generated 214 total yards. It’s been a pretty balanced attack with 53 rushing yards and 161 passing yards.

But the defense has again left something to be desired.

The RedHawks have 211 yards.

Bo Mascoe’s interception that killed a Miami threat and led to a Rutgers touchdown was the highlight for the defense.

Good showing from Rutgers’ offense continues, as the Scarlet Knights are now up 24-7 with 1:20 to go in the first half.

Kaliakmanis is 16-of-21 for 161 yards with two touchdowns.

Big sequence from Rutgers.

Three plays later Raymond ran it in for a TD with 8:18 to go in the second quarter.

Rutgers got down to the RedHawks 7, with some help from a holding call on Miami, but a third-down sack for a loss of 11 forced the Scarlet Knights to have to settle for the field goal.

12:34 to go in the second half.

Rutgers’ early lead didn’t last long.

Miami QB Dequan Finn hit Kam Perry for a 62-yard pass to get to the Rutgers 1, and one play later D’Shawntae Jones punched the ball in from there for a touchdown.

It’s 7-7 with 5:11 to go in the first quarter.

Stong opening drive for Rutgers, who went 75 yards on 11 plays, capped off with Athan Kaliakmanis hitting Ian Strong for a 14-yard touchdown pass.

The start of Rutgers football’s game against Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 6 has been delayed due to a storm that hit the area.

About 45 minutes prior to the scheduled 3:30 kickoff time, a message that said lightning was in the area and instructed fans to shelter in place was shown on the videoboard. An announcement was then made telling fans to leave the stands and go into the SHI Stadium concourses.

The teams left the field and retreated to the locker rooms.

A strong storm then moved through, causing tents and garbage cans on the sidelines to get blown all over the field.

The storm has passed, and fans have returned to the stands. The teams, though, have not returned to the field to resume warmups.

Rutgers DB Noah Shaw is out for the season

Shaw is in his second season with the Scarlet Knights. He made his debut in the Rate Bowl last December.
