PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) There's not much that Leonte Carroo does on the football field that surprises him.

However, there is one statistic that even shocks the Rutgers' senior wide receiver.

His first catch every season has gone for a touchdown, and his first three this season. The latest was a 55-yard touchdown reception against Norfolk State, igniting a phenomenal game even though he sat out the first half because of a curfew violation.

''That's pretty weird the last three years every single time my first catch has been a touchdown,'' Carroo said.
