MINNEAPOLIS — You wanted a competitive game. You wanted a competent offense. You wanted, most of all, a reason to watch the rest of this season with the Scarlet Knights in full rebuild mode.
Gio Rescigno gave you all of that on Saturday afternoon — and then some — if you're a Rutgers fan during this heartbreaking but encouraging 34-32 loss to the Golden Gophers.
He wasn't perfect, turning the ball over three times. But given how awful this "power spread" offense had looked during its past four games, producing just two touchdowns, it almost felt like you were watching a young John Elway out there against Minnesota.
