Rutgers scored at will tonight. Louisville's offense was driving a bit early, but quickly shot itself in the foot on every conceivable level. Courtney Greene had his best game of the season, it's nice to see him back again. I expected RU to win big ala Cincy in '05, and they played extraordinarily well in all facets of the game.
Before RU fans pat ourselves on the back too much, you have to concede that this was a defeated Louisville team out there tonight. They showed absolutely no heart. Louisville looked far, far worse than Army did a few weeks ago. The difference is that those gritty, tough Black Knights don't have an ounce of quit in them. Quitting is all Louisville did in this game.
I think this was a fairly strong endorsement that Steve Kragthorpe did resign earlier in the week, because Louisville was quick to the mat after one punch at their glass jaw. I almost got the feeling that Ron English was more worried about this game destroying his prospects for being a head coach at a midmajor next season than the actual results on the field.

That forced fumble by, I think, McCourty on the one yard line early in the first quarter was the crucial play. It killed Louisville’s momentum, and even further when Rutgers just drove down at will and made what probably would have been 7-7 to 14-0. You were right, they just quit beyond that. though it doesn’t help that Teel and the receivers just picked on that poor secondary. Someone needed to tell Louisville’s DC that putting single man coverage on Underwood or Britt were BAD ideas before they became more points against U of L.
Seeing Mike Teel air it out and finally – FINALLY – put almost all of those mid-range to long-range balls in the right spot was a sight to behold. Seeing it live was excellent and I don’t think you could ask for a better last home game for a college career. New school records, a touchdown catch for each wideout, and a huge win that will ensure a bowl of some sort. Great game by RU.
Now we become fairweather UConn and USF fans in the hopes of Rutgers moving up in the Big East.
