PISCATAWAY -- Jerry Kill sits at his desk staring straight ahead at game film of Washington, but any visitors to his office surely fixate their eyes on the sword mounted on the wall behind him.
It was a coming-out-of-retirement gift from his daughter, and it is no foam sword like the one Rutgers' mascot carries in playtime.
It is a four-foot-long sword like the kind used for battle, intended as an homage to becoming a Scarlet Knight but also perfectly appropriate for Kill's life as he overcomes epilepsy and outside perceptions of Rutgers.
