Rutgers is one of the rare teams with multiple bye weeks this season, and the Scarlet Knights are feeling pretty good about themselves heading into the free weekend before kicking off again on Thursday, Nov. 12 against South Florida.

That's the difference 38 seconds can make.

With that much time remaining in the game last weekend, Rutgers trailed UConn by a field goal and was pinned at its own 19-yard line. But one quick pass and run to Tim Brown later, the Scarlet Knights led 28-24 and were on their way to their sixth victory of the season and first Big East win.

Though the Scarlet Knights aren't in BCS contention, the team is in good shape for one of the other top Big East bowls.

On a day Connecticut honored slain teammate Jasper Howard, one of his best friends won the game for Rutgers. Tim Brown, who grew up with Howard in Miami, scored on an 81-yard touchdown pass from Tom Savage with 22 seconds left to give the Scarlet Knights a 28-24 victory over the Huskies in UConn's first home game since Howard was stabbed to death.
