The UConn Huskies had it won with 38 seconds left. Then all of a sudden, another fourth-quarter breakdown was in the books.
Rutgers' Tim Brown silenced the place with an 81-yard catch and run with 22 seconds left as the Scarlet Knights (6-2, 1-2) escaped with their first Big East win. Brown, a childhood friend of Jasper Howard, led Rutgers to a 28-24 victory before 37,045 Saturday at Rentschler Field. Howard, who was stabbed to death two weeks ago, was honored in a pregame ceremony.
On the winning TD, the Huskies had their best cover corner, Robert McClain, on Brown. But once he got past McClain, safety Aaron Bagsby took a poor angle and Brown took it to the house.
"Crazy game," Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "[Rutgers] kept fighting even when it didn't look so good."
