Pinstripe Bowl Prediction

The Scarlet Knights and Hurricanes met annually in Big East play from 1993-2003, with UM being ranked in seven of the matchups and winning the prior 11 meetings. RU is 2-2 all-time in bowl games against current ACC opponents and 5-2 overall under Schiano.

In this situation, Rutgers will be more motivated and with more fans. Miami-FL has a terrible reputation for cold weather bowl losses.

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.
