MEMORABLE GAMES
2013:

Notre Dame broke a 13-13 halftime tie by outscoring Rutgers 16-3 in the second half in what was an eventual 29-16 victory. Fighting Irish QB Tommy Rees went 27-for-47 for 319 yards and K Kyle Brindza tied an NCAA bowl record with five field goals. The eight combined field goals by the teams was also an NCAA bowl record.

2012:

Heavy snow made things tough for both teams, but Syracuse – which plays its home games indoors – handled the conditions better and rolled to a 38-14 victory over West Virginia in its final game as a Big East Conference member. Prince-Tyson Gulley ran for 213 yards and scored three touchdowns for the Orange.

2011:

Jawan Jamison, a redshirt freshman, ran for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Rutgers took its fifth straight bowl victory, winning 27-13 over Iowa State in front of a predominantly pro-Scarlet Knights crowd. It was Rutgers’ second win at Yankee Stadium of the season, after the Knights beat Army 27-12 at the stadium one month earlier.

2010:

The inaugural Pinstripe Bowl featured a controversial finish, after Kansas State receiver Adrian Hilbur caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Carson Coffman with 1:13 left to cut a Syracuse lead to 36-34. But before KSU could attempt a tying two-point conversion, Hilburn was flagged for excessive celebration after giving a military-style salute toward the back of the end zone, a 15-yard penalty assessed on the conversion. The two-point pass fell incomplete and Syracuse was able to run out the clock on its ensuing possession.

The New Era Pinstripe Bowl is one of the youngest bowl games, having only been played since the 2010 season.

This year’s game is scheduled to be held at the current Yankee Stadium. The original Yankee Stadium hosted a number of collegiate games from the year it opened in 1923, including the annual Notre Dame-Army game from 1925-46, 1969 and 2010.
