Rutgers made a game-changing punt block touchdown in the Pinstripe Bowl look so easy

Rutgers was absolutely on top of Miami’s punter in an instant.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights just made a game-changing punt return for a touchdown look incredibly easy during the Pinstripe Bowl.

During Thursday’s Pinstripe Bowl between Rutgers and the Miami Hurricanes, the Scarlet Knights were facing a 17-14 deficit in the third quarter. Rutgers had Miami pinned deep, with Hurricanes punter Dylan Joyce kicking off from their own end zone, hoping to back up the Scarlet Knights as much as possible.

Instead, however, Rutgers tore through Miami’s punt blockers with ease, getting to Joyce and knocking the football loose before the punter could get the kick off. And sliding into the end zone to recover the ball was Timmy Ward, who secured the football to help Rutgers take a 21-17 lead in just an instant.

That was almost too easy for Rutgers’ defense. What a play!
