Pinstripe Bowl Recent Results
Late on in 2018, the Wisconsin Badgers cruised to a 35-3 sportsbook victory over the Miami Hurricanes. Wisconsin’s defense dominated from start to finish. In 2022, Minnesota defeated Syracuse 28-20. Namely, safety Coleman Bryson was named MVP.
In like manner to other 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.
Pinstripe Bowl Past Winners
Boston College, Syracuse, and Rutgers are the teams that have made multiple appearances in the Pinstripe Bowl. And the Orange is the only program to notch more than a single win. The ACC and Big Ten affiliations should yield more multi-game winners as the years go by.

Pinstripe Bowl Prediction
The Scarlet Knights and Hurricanes met annually in Big East play from 1993-2003. In turn, UM was ranked in seven of the matchups and won 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.
