His second outing -- a 19-of-36 passing effort with 258 yards and a touchdown -- was solid, if not quite as good. And then the bottom fell out against Penn State, Michigan State and Maryland to end the season. The problems with this offense were not and are still not limited to the quarterback position.

Rescigno only completed five passes in the victory over Illinois, but two of them should provide a road map for this offense going forward. On a third and eight at the Rutgers 27, Rescigno rolled to his right and hit receiver Janarion Grant for a 13-yard gain to move the chains.
