Throw Back Thursday: this week in Rutgers football history, week 8

The return to action following the bye week was OH! So good. Finally....everybody got to breathe a little.

This Week....in Rutgers....Football....History (*echoing* history...history....history)

Last year: October 15 It was Homecoming at Rutgers with Illinois coming to Piscataway. Not a good visit by the Illini or for the Rutgers faithful. Rutgers dropped its homecoming game, 24-7. Junior running back Robert Martin led the Knights in rushing with 95 yards on 16 attempts, while junior quarterback Giovanni Rescigno went 10-for-18 passing for 120 yards and one touchdown. Rutgers got on the board on the first play of the fourth quarter, as Rescigno hit tight end senior Nick Arcidiacono in the back of the end zone with a jump pass over defenders.
