For all intents and purposes, the Rutgers football team has clinched a bowl bid…thanks to the most improbable 28-24 Big East win at Connecticut Saturday afternoon in a game heard on Good Time Oldies, 1450 WCTC.  The Scarlet Knights snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with 22-seconds left when true freshman starting quarterback Tom Savage hit senior wideout Tim Brown on an 81-yard catch and run for a touchdown,  just seconds after UConn had taken the lead on a fourth down two-yard t-d run.   Savage, in his first league road start, threw for three touchdowns for the first time in his young career, passing for 234 yards overall.  Brown continues his brilliant final season with two t-d catches and 162 yards in a very emotional, bittersweet performance.  Brown was close friends in his hometown of Miami with Huskies’ starting cornerback Jasper Howard, who was fatally stabbed on the UConn campus two weeks ago.  Meanwhile, the special teams contributed another score when senior Devin McCourty took the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown.  So, the Scarlet Knights pick up their first Big East win in three tries and improve to 6-2 overall, needing just one win in their final four games to become eligible for a bowl bid.  The first of those games is on November 12th at home against league opponent USF.  Kickoff is at 7:30 that night.  And when Rutgers is playing in a bowl game later this year, you’ll only have to look back to this Saturday afternoon when Savage hit Brown in near miraculous fashion to beat the UConn Huskies in West Hartford.
