Rutgers freshman RB Savon Huggins can expect rude welcome from Heels' fans

Posted Sep 8, 2011
Rutgers freshman running back Savon Huggins teased North Carolina fans during his press conference to announce where he was going to attend college. He put on a Tar Heels' hat before quickly snatching it off and placing a Rutgers cap on. The North Carolina faithful weren't amused and they'll likely let Huggins know as much on Saturday when the Scarlet Knights pay them a visit. (Newark Star-Ledger)
