Week 13 thoughts....
This game was a wild one and the score was not indicative of how close it was. We scored 17 points in the final 2:30 after taking over on downs deep inside Rutgers territory each time.
Neither team wanted to win this game - there were 5 interceptions and 6 fumbles total. It was yet another wet, messy one in a season full of them.
Irving Nelson's 99 yard INT return for a TD in the 2nd quarter was a game changing play and a highlight for our pass defense in what was an otherwise poor performance.
Our pass rush did show up, however, collecting 4 sacks. This included one from walk-on freshman defensive back Eugene Nixon.
Quentin Bush was his usual self, leading the team on spectacular drives with third down conversions one minute, and then throwing crucial interceptions the next.
It's another bye week this week before
