PISCATAWAY −Rutgers football had just the first half it needed.
The Scarlet Knights are up 14-3 on Washington at halftime at SHI Stadium.
It’s been a great atmosphere here under the lights in front of a sell-out crowd.
Rutgers has gotten some big plays from QB Athan Kaliakmanis, some key runs from Kyle Monangai and the defense has been great.
Follow along here for scoring updates throughout the game:
3Q, 4:23: Washington cuts into Rutgers’ lead
A 51-yard pass from Will Rogers to Denzel Boston cuts Rutgers’ lead to 14-10.
2Q, 0:30 Rutgers extends its lead with some help from Washington
Kaliakmanis throws a great pass to Ian Strong into the end zone on first-and-10 from the Huskies 15, Strong made a great catch and it’s 14-3 Rutgers.
Scarlet Knights got some help from the Huskies. On the previous play, Rutgers attempted a 38-yard field goal that was blocked. But Washington got called for an illegal substitution that gave the Scarlet Knights a first down.
They took advantage in a big way.
2Q, 11:26: Rutgers football takes the lead on Kyle Monangai touchdown

Rutgers vs. Washington prediction, picks, odds
Rutgers is a 2.5-point favorite, according to Action Network as of Sept. 26.
O/U: Over 44.5 (-111), Under 44.5 (-109)
Moneyline: Rutgers -130, Washington +110
Prediction: This isn’t an easy game to predict – it’ll be the toughest opponent either team has faced so far this season. If the Scarlet Knights can get off to a fast start and keep the crowd roaring, that should give them a pretty good advantage. But it’s going to come to limiting any potential big plays by Will Rogers and finding a way to move the ball effectively against a high-level defense. Most importantly? Don’t turn the ball over.
