PISCATAWAY -- Facing a stunning 21-point first-quarter deficit in a game it was favored to win by six points, Rutgers needed something unusual to happen.
How about three somethings unusual and one something that should be but isn't?
Rutgers scored three touchdowns covering 69 yards or more and pulled off a trick play touchdown during a furious comeback Saturday to take a 28-21 lead against New Mexico headed to halftime at High Point Solutions Stadium.
Jawuan Harris caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Laviano to start the comeback on the final play from scrimmage in the first quarter and Robert Martin scampered for an 80-yard touchdown run to complete it midway through the second.
