The Rutgers Football season wrapped up at Michigan State on Saturday. Despite the Spartans as heavy favorites, this grudge match came down to the final minute.
Rocky Lombardi got the home start for a banged up Brian Lewerke at QB for MSU. Giovanni Rescigno got the start for Rutgers. After the teams exchanged three and out punts, Michigan State went for it on 4th down from their own 33 yard line and was completely stuffed by Rutgers. A last ditch attempt to bounce it wide was greeted by Redshirt Senior Cornerback Isaiah Wharton. This move seemed absolutely idiotic at the time, but maybe Mark Dantonio knew something the rest of us didn’t.
