What channel is the Rutgers vs Miami FL game on? Time, TV & live stream for the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl game

For the 2023 Pinstripe Bowl, it will be a clash between Rutgers and Miami FL. These two teams both faced major challenges towards the end of the year, but only one of them will have an opportunity to finish on a positive note.

The Scarlet Knights started their regular season campaign quite strong. They managed to win four of their first five games until they faced the mighty Michigan Wolverines and had to go back down to Earth. After that and towards the end, they lost all momentum and dropped their last four games in Big Ten play – with all losses being in double digits.

But despite this, the Scarlet Knights are marginally favored against Miami, which also concluded the year with three losses in its last four games. This is something different for them, considering how the Hurricanes have been historically dominant in this series. Pundits will say that Miami would likely be considered favorites if they still had their starting quarterback. But that's not going to matter now in the slightest, as each team would have to just make do with what they got.

What to expect in the Pinstripe Bowl Game?

In the bowl season, motivation is everything. So fans should expect a team like Rutgers to have it in spades – especially since they're fielding almost their entire defensive lineup. It's a defense that has been very consistent all year, culminating in them only allowing 22.6 opponent points (#32) and an insane 73.17% red zone scoring (#7 overall).

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes, grappling with transfer portal departures, find their offense sputtering and scraping the bottom of the barrel. With several key offensive players absent, they're forced to start redshirt backup QB Jacurri Brown (more on him later).

It's going to be a battle of a mostly intact, good defense against an offense that will be looking everywhere and anywhere for a spark. Fans should expect Rutgers' defense to hold Miami's defense at bay well enough.

Who will be the Starting QB for Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl?

Gavin Wimsatt will have the clear upper hand against his less experienced counterpart. But while that is said, he's had a lot of trouble completing passes – he's completing just under 48 percent of his throws. And going up against a solid enough Miami defense could prove troublesome for him.

Who will be the Starting QB for Miami FL in the Pinstripe Bowl?

The departure of former QB1 Tyler Van Dyke has Miami scrambling for the ropes. So they had to decide to start redshirt backup QB Jacurri Brown for this game, who's only passed for 230 yards in eight games. He did rush almost as much though with 223 yards on the ground, so he's got that going for him.
