The good, the bad, and the ugly.
All three were on display when Rutgers hosted Illinois on Saturday afternoon at SHI Stadium in Piscataway.
After missing on his first two attempts, James McCourt sunk the Scarlet Knights with a 47-yard field goal with three seconds left on the clock. After a failed lateral play, the clock hit zeroes and it was a 23-20 loss for Rutgers.
The Good
Bo Melton has thrived under Sean Gleeson and Tiquan Underwood through the first half of the season. He got the scoring started on Rutgers’ first possession with a 29-yard touchdown.
