In the weeks leading up to the Rate Bowl, Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said it would take many contributions to make up the defensive game plan to slow down a Kansas State team that was explosive and versatile.

Rutgers decided to pull a fast one during Thursday night’s Rate Bowl at Chase Field, and it worked to perfection. While looking to run the Philadelphia Eagles’ tush push at the 1-yard line against Kansas State, quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis instead handed the ball off to running back Antwan Raymond for the fake.

Led by a backfield duo from the Wichita area, Kansas State completed another nine-win season with a come-from-behind, 44-41 win against Rutgers in the Rate Bowl in Phoenix.
