Final Score: (24) Rutgers 34, Navy 0

Annapolis, MD (Sports Network) - Mike Teel threw for 215 yards with three touchdowns and the Rutgers defense held the nation’s top-ranked rushing attack in check, as the 24th-ranked Scarlet Knights rolled to a 34-0 victory over Navy.

Navy (5-2) entered the game averaging 350.5 yards on the ground, but managed only 113 yards on 50 carries against a stingy Rutgers defense. Losing quarterback Brian Hampton to a dislocated left knee in the first quarter didn’t help. Hampton was the leading rusher for the Midshipmen and the key to their option offense, which didn’t function well after he left the contest. The game was scoreless when Hampton was carted off the field on a stretcher.
