Rutger's Shuts Down Bearcats

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights pulled off a rare defensive feat skunking the Bearcats in a hard fought defensive, 10-3 win.

The Bearcats scored in 90 straight games. The last shutout of the Bearcats since West Virginia blanked the Cats on November 9, 2005. 
The only points Rutgers needed came on a 71-yard pass play from Gary Nova to Mark Harrison.

Other than the big pass, UC played its best defensive game, intercepting a pair of passes and blocking a field goal attempt to frustrate the Scarlet Knights.

Rutgers defense was aided by  a record setting day by sophomore Savon Huggins.  He carried the ball for a school record 41 times for 179 yards in relief of the Big East's second leading rusher, Jawan Jamison. The Rutgers starting tailback was limited to four carries for 39 yards.  He was slowed with a bad ankle.

Tony Miliano kicked a 36-yard field goal with 11 seconds left to avoid the whitewash.
