Instant Analysis: Rutgers 40, North Carolina 21

Posted Dec 26, 2014
Rutgers was dominant offensively and had a strong defensive effort, jumping out to a 23-0 halftime lead and taking a commanding 40-7 lead at one point in the fourth quarter. North Carolina picked up a couple of late touchdowns and two late onside kick recoveries, but the performance of Rutgers' running game, offensive line and quarterback Gary Nova was too much to overcome.
