-We’ll have more on Rutgers’ big comeback win over Louisville later today. But how much fun was that to watch Greg Schiano’s team show such great fortitude. Down 25-7, they never quit and got a huge spark from Heisman hopeful Ray Rice’s late first half TD to slice it to 11. Then Schiano proved how good a coach he is by making terrific second half adjustments. Especially on D where his gritty second ranked Scarlet Knight D flushed out Cardinals QB Brian Brohm plenty sacking him five times and stuffed Louisville’s run. By shutting down Bobby Petrino’s high powered offense, it helped turn the tide and get an electric capacity crowd back into it. With the Knights going back to pounding it out on the ground with Rice and rugged fullback Robert Leonard, they were able to wear down the Louisville D. Ultimately, that would prove to be the difference in helping setup a dramatic finish where nervous kicker Jeremy Ito got a reprieve thanks to a Louisville offsides after a miss and made the winning kick from 28 with just 13 seconds remaining. Two plays later when Brohm was sacked, it touched off a wild celebration as fans stormed the field in what was arguably RU’s biggest sports moment and one this area will remember forever. Imagine being down 18 on your own field and looking like you might be blown out a la last year against the same opponent. But then reaching for whatever extra and showing the world and all the cynics that you got more heart and talent than anyone ever thought. That’s what Schiano’s boys accomplished by improving to 9-0 and pulling the upset of the No.3 rated foe who some had possibly playing for the national title. It was Rutgers first ever win over a Top 25 opponent since 1988.

So, how great a story is this for the Jersey native Schiano in turning around a once dead program? Just read what fifth year redshirt senior Leonard had to say about why he passed up the NFL to return for his final year:

“This is the new Rutgers. This is a dream of mine.”

And Schiano summed up what this year’s team is about:

“You don’t come back like we did tonight unless you have believers.”

Pretty special stuff from a guy who coached under the legendary Joe Paterno and Miami’s Butch Davis who’s ultimate dream was to return Rutgers to prominence and vowed this day would come while most of us laughed. Well, who’s laughing now? You can’t make it up. How great would it be if somehow RU ran the table and wound up playing for the title against either Ohio State or Michigan? It’s no longer a pipe dream.

-We’ll have some thoughts on Amani Toomer’s season-ending injury and the Bryan Pata tragedy which struck the Miami Hurricanes the past couple of days later on.
