Mathews ended with huge totals, but yards were hard to come by until Rutgers wore down.

Only big plays were Ajirotutu, but receivers caught most of what was thrown to them.

Struggled to run and pass block until late in third quarter.

Put barely any pressure on Teel throughout game, but made a few nice diving trip-ups.

Held Britt and Underwood both under 90 yards, Haynes grabbed 2 picks.
