PISCATAWAY, NJ (Rutgers Football App) - The boo's rained upon Shi Stadium numerous times during Saturday's game against Akron, not based upon poor performance on the field, but for the quick whistles from the game officials who were quick to stop game play when Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai was lost in some on the field pile-ups. At times when Rutgers was on offense, you could see large piles that resembled a rugby play, and when the dust would settle, it was Monangai still standing.
Quick whistles on forward progress did not stop Monangai as he went on to a career-high 208 yards and scored three short touchdowns to lead the Scarlet Knights to a 49- 17 win over the Akron Zips. The senior from Don Bosco Prep has rushed for 373 yards and four touchdowns in two games so far this season including scores of 3, 1 and 2 yards. "The credit belongs to the offensive line, tight ends and receivers all making blocks" said Monangai following the Akron game.
With the win over Akron, Rutgers has manage to win nine straight non conference games. With this kind of momentum, the entire Rutgers Football is once again churning under Head Coach Greg Schiano. The Scarlet Knights have a week off with an early bye week, they will travel to Virginia Tech on Saturday, September 21, 2004.
