WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) Paul James rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns, and Rutgers beat Army 31-21 on Saturday to snap a four-game losing streak.
Rutgers (4-7) has won nine straight in the series with Army (2-9).
Army was poised to pull within a field goal with 5:22 left in the fourth quarter when Josh Hicks' interception in the end zone sealed it for the Scarlet Knights.
Chris Carter, who took first-team snaps at quarterback in Army practices during the week while starter Ahmad Bradshaw wore a boot on an injured right foot, made his first career start as backup A.
