Gio Rescigno was well within his right to punt on his college career given all that's happened to him. Three times, he entered training camp in a quarterback "competition" at Rutgers. Three times, the guy cashing the seven-figure checks went with someone else.
And now, three times, that millionaire coach has come crawling back to the senior from Michigan, hat in hand, with a familiar request.
"Uh, Gio, can you save the season?"
It happened again on Saturday afternoon at HighPoint.com Stadium. Chris Ash pushed the panic button with four and a half minutes to go in the second quarter, pulling freshman Artur Sitkowski and handing the reins to this offense, if you can call it that, back to Rescigno.
