Rutgers vs. Kansas State: Box score, stats, and summary feat. Antwan Raymond (Rate Bowl)

The Kansas State Wildcats were able to come from behind and secure a 44-41 win in the Rate Bowl over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. A major reason was the fact that running back Dylan Edwards had a huge game, setting the record for the most rushing yards in a bowl game for the program.

Rutgers (7-6) is going to have a big offseason as coach Greg Schiano’s team had six seniors starting on the offensive side while eight seniors started on defense. Kansas State (9-4) has a lot of key players as underclassmen, but some significant pieces on the defense have played their final snaps of college football.
