PISCATAWAY, N.J. —

No matter what happens over his final handful of college games, Ethan Garbers can always remember this glorious afternoon.

He’ll always have Piscataway.

Widely dismissed after a forgettable first half of the season, the UCLA quarterback provided one reminder after another Saturday afternoon why his coach stuck with him through his struggles.

Garbers went into the birthplace of college football and spawned a midseason revival. Dazzling with his legs as well as an arm that was as strong and accurate as it’s ever been, Garbers carried the Bruins to a 35-32 victory over Rutgers at SHI Stadium that momentarily changed the narrative on their season.
