Pinstripe Bowl Past Results

Like many bowls, the New Era Pinstripe Bowl was wiped out in 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The game returned on Dec. 29, 2021, and Virginia Tech likely wishes the 2021 game was wiped out, too. Hit by transfer portal defections, several injuries, and opt-outs, a depleted Hokies team with an interim coach was no match for Maryland, losing 54-10 as the favorite and 'over' cashed. It was just the fourth time in 11 Pinstripe Bowl games that the favorite hit.

A string of close games continued in 2017 when Iowa scored a late touchdown to defeat Boston College 27-20. It was the fourth consecutive one-score game and the fifth in the bowl’s eight-game history. The streak was finally broken in 2018 as the Wisconsin Badgers cruised to a 35-3 victory over the Miami Hurricanes, with Wisconsin’s defense dominating from start to finish.

In 2022, Minnesota defeated Syracuse 28-20. Safety Coleman Bryson was named MVP.

Kyle Monangai continues to prove that you don't have to be a high-profile recruit to make an impact. The running back slashed Miami's defense for 163 yards and a touchdown, leading Rutgers to a 31-24 victory in the 2023 Pinstripe Bowl.

The performance was the exclamation point on a sensational season. The 5-foot-9, 210-pound ball carrier hit the century mark for the seventh time this year. He finishes the 2023 campaign with 1,262 rushing yards, leading the Big Ten.

Monangai became the first Scarlet Knights running back to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards since Jawan Jamison in 2012. Because of his success on the ground, Rutgers finished the season with a 7-6 record and a bowl victory, the best year the program has enjoyed since 2014.
