The buzz around the program coming into the year was offensive coordinator John McNulty would try to get Blackshear 15-20 touches a game in a variety of ways.
That’s exactly what played out against the Bobcats.
Blackshear touched the ball 19 times in the game – 12 carries and seven receptions – for a combined 118 yards of offense (62 rush, 56 receiving) and two scores.
Blackshear is the first Rutgers player to have a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game since Paul James in 2014.
