After five completions in the previous two weeks, 17 of 30 for 182 yards feels like the Joe Montana's 49ers. Gio Rescigno had a few good throws after he replaced Chris Laviano at halftime, but how many times did Rutgers have an open receiver behind the defense and fail to connect? Answer: Too many. GRADE: D.
Fifty carries for 203 yards? Rutgers would sign for that before kickoff in nearly every game. Robert Martin had 95 yards on 16 carries and then disappeared for a stretch, likely because of his costly fumble.
