Rutgers lets golden opportunity slip

Posted Sep 25, 2010
Rutgers Scarlet Knights squandered a golden opportunity on Saturday against the UNC Tar Heels. Starting quarterback Tom Savage suffered bruised ribs, and perhaps a bruised ego, in the process. Savage led his team on a potential game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. But his second interception of the game brought the comeback to a screeching halt, and the Scarlet Knights fell to the Tar Heels 17-13. (ESPN.com)
