Freshman QB shines; Rutgers snaps 11-game losing streak 65-0

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Freshman quarterback Johnathan Lewis ran for four touchdowns and passed for another in part-time action Saturday, and Rutgers defeated Morgan State 65-0 to snap an 11-game losing streak.

Lewis took only five first-half snaps and didn't lead a full drive until late in the third quarter, but the highly touted recruit gave a potential glimpse of the future in the victory.

The last win for Rutgers (1-2) was nearly a year ago, when it defeated New Mexico 37-29, before ending the season on a nine-game skid and going winless in the Big Ten.
