GAME 1: RUTGERS 63, NSU 13 Sept. 5, 2015 High Point Solutions Stadium • Piscataway, N.J.
Chris Laviano found Leonte Carroo on three touchdown passes in Rutgers’ 28-point third quarter that broke open a tight game, sending the Scarlet Knights to a 63-13 win over Norfolk State in the season-opener for both teams. The Spartans (0-1) scored on a pair of fi rst-half touchdown passes from Greg Hankerson Jr. and trailed just 21-13 at the half in Latrell Scott’s NSU coaching debut. But the Scarlet Knights’ Janarion Grant returned the second-half kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown, and Laviano threw TD passes of 55, 56 and 18 yards to Carroo as Rutgers pulled away. Hankerson led NSU on a fi ve-play, 75-yard drive after the game’s opening kickoff. He completed passes on three straight plays to DeAndre Sangster, the last one a 16-yard TD strike, to give NSU a 7-0 lead. The Scarlet Knights scored 21 unanswered points, but NSU regained some momentum with an eight-play, 78-yard scoring drive just before the half. Hankerson capped it with a 29-yard TD pass to tight end Torian Henderson. The PAT missed, but NSU had pulled within 21-13 going into the half. But the Scarlet Knights regained the momentum when Janarion Grant returned the second-half kickoff 80 yards for a score. Laviano then threw three TD passes to Leonte Carroo in the quarter. Both players were suspended for the fi rst half. Rutgers outgained NSU 539-196.
