Rutgers uconn blackout game

UConn takes the lead for the first time tonight, courtesy of a yard touchdown pass from Cody Endres to Kashif Moore -- it's UConn, with remaining in the second quarter. Todman was the fourth-leading rusher in the country coming into the game, averaging But Rutgers had kept him bottled up nicely -- up until that play. Dodd has completed 8-of-9 for yards and a touchdown so far -- not too shabby for a freshman making his first college start on national television, wouldn't you say?

San San Te tacks on a yard field goal, and Rutgers now leads with to go in the second quarter. That's the end of the first quarter, Rutgers still leads UConn has the ball, but deep in their own territory.

Talk about an exciting first quarter -- Joe Lefeged just ran the next kickoff back 75 yards for Rutgers -- the Scarlet Knights have first-and at the UConn The Rutgers lead didn't last too long -- Nick Williams returns the ensuing kickoff yards for a UConn touchdown, and it's now Dodd just connected with fellow true freshman Jeremy Deering for a yard touchdown pass, and it's Scarlet Knights.

A quick three-and-out for both teams, and UConn will begin its second possession at its own yard line. Rutgers kicks off, to get this game started -- touchback, UConn begins on the yard line.

We've been given no indication why Dodd is starting over Savage tonight -- is it because of Savage's hand and rib injuries, or is it because Dodd was more effective against Tulane last week, after replacing Savage in the second quarter?
