  10/24/20 - Isaih Pacheco, Sr/2022, Rutgers, 5-10, 222 (DS#35 RB) + More +

  Isaih Pacheco ran for two first-half touchdowns, and Rutgers snapped a 21-game Big Ten losing streak Saturday, beating Michigan State 38-27 in coach Greg Schiano's first game back with the Scarlet Knights. Michigan State has a new coach too, and Mel Tucker's debut was forgettable from the start. The Spartans (0-1) turned the ball over seven times - four in the first half - and never led against a Rutgers team that hadn't won a conference game since Nov. 4, 2017 against Maryland. The Scarlet Knights scored 14 points total through their first five Big Ten games last year. It took them 8:03 to reach that mark Saturday. Pacheco strolled in from 12 yards out to cap the game's opening drive, then Michigan State receiver Jayden Reed fumbled the ball away on his team's first offensive play.

Rutgers (1-0) didn't capitalize on that turnover, but the Scarlet Knights quickly forced another. Rocky Lombardi was sacked and fumbled, giving Rutgers the ball at the Michigan State 1. A touchdown run by Johnny Langan made it 14-0. Reed scored on a 50-yard catch-and-run on fourth down to make it 14-7, but the Spartans weren't done turning the ball over. An interception in Michigan State territory led to a 24-yard touchdown run by Rutgers quarterback Noah Vedral. Reed's second fumble of the half gave the Scarlet Knights the ball again, but Vedral threw an interception. Michigan State's Shakur Brown ran it back for a touchdown, but that was called back for a penalty and the Spartans settled for a field goal. - AP/Rutgers College Football

  10/23/20 - Aron Cruickshank, rSr/2023, Rutgers, 5-09, 165 (DS#120 WR) + More +

  Rutgers believes Aron Cruickshank can make an offensive impact. Everyone knows the Erasmus Hall product and Wisconsin transfer has blazing speed and is an elite return man. His kickoff return for a touchdown in the Rose Bowl is mesmerizing to watch. But he did not do much as a wideout for the Badgers and mostly served as a jet sweep guy there when he was used. Rutgers clearly thinks he can do more than that. It will be interesting to see how offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson utilizes Cruickshank. - Star Ledger

  10/23/20 - Taj Harris, rSr/2024, Rutgers, 6-1, 180 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  Syracuse coach Dino Babers said receiver Taj Harris apologized to the team for an obscene hand gesture late in Saturday's loss to Liberty. Asked whether the incident will impact Harris' playing status for Saturday, Babers said discipline will be handled internally. "Taj stood up on Sunday, he apologized to the team," Babers said. "We have addressed that. It's internal discipline, and we will handle that within the family. Young men making a mistake. We all understand." A television camera captured Harris' gesture with two minutes remaining in the game and SU trailing, 38-21. The image was shown during the broadcast. - The Post-Standard

  Taj Harris has been far and away the best offensive playmaker for Syracuse this season. The junior receiver leads the Orange with 26 catches for 434 yards and four touchdowns through five games. No other Syracuse player has reached 200 receiving yards. - The State

  10/20/20 - Taj Harris, rSr/2024, Rutgers, 6-1, 180 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack said an obscene hand gesture by junior wide receiver Taj Harris late in Saturday's loss to Liberty was "inappropriate" and "unacceptable" and that the football program will address the incident. A television camera captured Harris' gesture with two minutes remaining in the game and SU trailing, 38-21. The image was shown during the broadcast. It's unclear if the gesture will impact Harris' playing status for next week's game at No. 1 Clemson. "Taj Harris' gesture late in today's game was inappropriate, unacceptable and in no way reflective of the standards we expect of our student-athletes," Wildhack said in a statement Saturday evening. "His behavior will be addressed by the football program within the department of athletics." Harris led all receivers in Saturday's game with nine catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. On the season, Harris leads SU with 26 receptions, 434 yards and four scores. - The Post-Standard

  10/11/20 - Ifeanyi Maijeh, rSr/2023, Rutgers, 6-1, 289 (DS#58 DT) + More +

  Temple Football head coach Rod Carey announced that two more players earned single-digit honors. Linebacker William Kwenkeu switches from number 35 to number 4 while defensive tackle Ifeanyi Maijeh will now sport the #9 jersey after changing from his childhood favorite #88. A Temple tradition that was originally instituted by then head coach Al Golden in 2009, the awarding of single-digits has become one of the most symbolic in all of college football. The toughest players, on and off the field, as awarded by their teammates, has become an identity and badge of honor to those who are deemed "Temple Tuff." In fact, several other college football programs have adopted the tradition.

Maijeh, a redshirt junior from New York, earned first team All-AAC and All-ECAC honors last season after finishing eighth in the conference in sacks per game (0.60). In addition to that, he recorded 6.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and five QB hits, all numbers that ranked top three on the team. This year, Maijeh starts the season in the spotlight as he earned preseason All-America accolades and was listed on watch lists for the Bednarik Award, the Nagurski Trophy, and the Outland Trophy. "It's truly an honor, I've always wanted to be a single-digit since I was a freshman," said Maijeh. "I knew what it stood for and respected the people who wore it. Getting a single-digit means leaving my legacy behind, which was also a personal goal of mine." - Temple Football

Dunlap, a Jacksonville, Fla., native, had tweeted Tuesday that he wanted to be closer to home.

  2020 PRESEASON RAY GUY AWARD WATCH LIST: Adam Korsak, Rutgers,...The Aussie helped the Scarlet Knights lead the Big Ten and rank 15th nationally with a net punt of 41.5 yards per attempt in 2019. The mark reset the school record for the second-straight year. Korsak averaged 43.8 yards, third-best in a season in program history, on 76 attempts overall with 31 downed inside the 20, 18 inside the 10 and nine inside the 5 with only two touchbacks. He booted 12 at least 50 yards, three at least 60 yards and forced 33 fair catches, negating a return on 56-of-76 punts overall. Korsak earned Second Team All-Big Ten in the coaches' vote and from the Associated Press, while being a third-team pick in the media ballot. At the national level, he was selected as one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award. In two seasons as the Scarlet Knights' punter, Korsak has averaged 43.2 yards per attempt, second in the program's career record book. He holds the school standard with a 79-yard boot versus Northwestern in 2018. - Rutgers Football

He used his quick hands and explosive first step to notch at least a partial sack in each of the first six games. The 2020 Outland Trophy recognized 85 standout interior linemen representing all 10 Division I FBS conferences and independents. This is the 75th anniversary season for the Outland Trophy and the watch list presents a diverse field of players. Maijeh is one of 17 defensive tackles on the list as well as just one of five players from the American Athletic Conference. - Temple Football

  07/24/20 - Aaron Lewis, rSr/2025, Rutgers, 6-4, 255 (DS#87 DE) + More +

  Rutgers made a huge splash Monday when former Williamstown (N.J.) standout Aaron Lewis announced on Twitter that he was transferring to Rutgers following a short stint at the University of Michigan. The four-star defensive lineman is gifted and has the work ethic to complement those blessings. Lewis talks speed: "I ran a 4.7-flat the first day I arrived at Michigan at about 245 pounds. We were supposed to run them again but we never did. We had to evaluate ourselves before camp. I ran 4.6 unofficial when clocking with my guys. And then we got sent home. I'm thinking I can get myself down to a 4.6, 4.5 with a lot of lifting and stretching." What's he been told he'll play? "They told me edge rusher. They said with my speed, I could possibly play off the edge like a linebacker (or rush end). And as my body develops, five-tech, three-tech. So, I'm going to be playing inside and outside. Moving around like I was in high school." - Star Ledger

He used his quick hands and explosive first step to notch at least a partial sack in each of the first six games. By midseason, the Far Rockaway, N.Y., native's play warranted constant double-teams opening up pass rushing lanes for teammate Quincy Roche who collected 10.0 sacks in November, on his way to AAC Defensive Player of the Year. - Temple Football

  07/18/20 - Aaron Lewis, rSr/2025, Rutgers, 6-4, 255 (DS#87 DE) + More +

  Could former Williamstown (N.J.) defensive end Aaron Lewis return home to the Garden State after entering the transfer portal on Wednesday? The 6-6, 260-pound four-star defensive lineman was the second player to commit to Michigan's 2020 class. However, his time in Ann Arbor was short lived. Lewis migrated there in January and spent more than two months with the his new team prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. But, due to undisclosed health issues of his mother, Lewis plans to transfer close to home, he told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday. "She will be fine, but closer to home is where I need to be right now," Lewis said. Does that mean Rutgers, I asked. "I guess we will see," he replied. Lewis pegs the University of Maryland and Penn State as contenders which also provide him the chance to play Power 5 ball (relatively) close to home. - Star Ledger
