Rutgers Beats Howard 44-7 Amid Controversy

Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano faced criticism after his team scored a touchdown on the final play, leading to a 44-7 victory over Howard. With just seven seconds remaining and a commanding 38-7 lead, Schiano chose to run a play instead of kneeling, resulting in a touchdown by Antwan Raymond. Howard coach Larry Scott expressed frustration postgame, indicating he would have handled the situation differently, although he refrained from detailing their conversation. Schiano defended his decision, stating that the players deserved to play until the end and that it was not an attempt to run up the score. The game showcased Rutgers' offensive dominance, particularly from running back Kyle Monangai, who rushed for 165 yards. The incident has sparked discussions on sportsmanship in college football.
