RU vs USF
Rutgers Wins 30-27

So, I went out again this afternoon and saw NO DEER! If this keeps up I'll have to take up a more exciting hobby--like fly tying.

I'm stuck without ESPN and in no mood to drive anywhere tonight to watch the Rutgers USF game so I've got the GameTracker from the RU web site AND the GameCenter from CBS Sports following the game for me. There's no sound and sometimes the delay between plays is unbearable but you do what you have to....

RU! Rah! Rah!

UPDATE:
17-13 for USF at the half. USF had a TD called back after they blocked a field goal attempt. "Illegal propelling of the ball" was the call. RU managed to drive the field win the last minute for a FG.

UPDATE 2: RU scores on their first possession in the second half on a 69-yard strike from Teel to Underwood. The Knights' defense held on the first possession AND the second but they buffed the punt and USF got the ball deep in RU territory. And the defense held AGAIN! USF missed the field goal attempt from short range.

UPDATE 3: RU fakes a field goal and the holder passes for a 15-yard TD. RU now leads 27-17. Still along way to go.

UPDATE 4: With the score 30-27 in RUs favor they get the ball back with about 5 minutes to play. A long drive could kill precious minutes but Rice fumbles the ball on the RU 40 and USF recovers. When was the last time Ray Rice fumbled? Why now?

But, once again, the RU defense holds and USF punts into the end zone for a touchback. Hold on to the ball!

UPDATE 5: 1:55 on the clock and USF, down 30-27, gets the ball back on the 50-yard line. The freakin' 50-yard line! Rutgers really needs a punter.

Thank goodness for Joe Lefeged! A 12-yard sack! RU's 7th sack of the night.

And the penalties! 4th and a mile after 25 yards of penalties.

Zaire Kitchen intercepts Matt Grothe's desperation pass. RU ball with 45 seconds to go and the Bulls with no timeouts. It's over! RU wins 30-27.
