PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Trenard Davis has a fairly compelling argument that his passing record should still be unblemished this season.
Davis’ first passing attempt this season went for a touchdown to Ricky Smalling in Illinois football’s loss to Penn State. His second — for all intents and purposes — looked like another completion to running back Mike Epstein on Saturday against Rutgers.
Looked being the operative word. The officials ruled the pass an incompletion despite the fact it appeared Epstein managed to tuck the ball after catching it before it was punched out by Rutgers safety Saquan Hampton.
