UConn drops 2nd straight after Ciaravino's late FG attempt hits upright

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Kordell Young rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown and Connecticut kicker Tony Ciaravino's 42-yard field goal attempt hit the right upright with 1:09 remaining as Rutgers escaped with a 12-10 win over the Huskies on Saturday.

UConn (5-2, 1-1) dropped its second straight game after Ciarvino missed three field goals in the game. He was 8-for-11 on the season before Saturday.

The win was the first for Rutgers (2-5, 1-2) against a Bowl Subdivision opponent this year.

Everything that you see in the video...the Kordell Young touchdown...the safety, and the missed FG all happened directly in front of me. The stadium was electric today, despite being dead and indifferent in the first half. This was a great win for the team...but the schedule gets no easier from here on out. There's no time to celebrate this one. A trip to Pittsburgh is looming.

I was in section 121 waiting all the way til the 4th quarter for the sun to finally hit me. You had it all game you lucky *******! haha it was cold in the shade! Anyways it was a great game and the defense played great. Teel wasn't good by any means but he had a few big plays that helped the offense out in clutch situations believe it or not. However, I'd like to see Natale in there more. I can't say I agree with Natale coming in at the time he did on that one drive though I think Teel may have been getting into a groove (believe it or not) but towards the end of the game, I was praying coach would put him back out there.

There was a few UConn fans in my section talking **** all game but all of our fans handled it well and ignored it. They shut right up and left after that missed field goal.

Dude you shoulda said something!!!! I was in section 110...perfect view of the end zone. Let me know if you're going to the Syracuse game...we'll tailgate or something lol.

I wasn't content with Natale going in midway through the game, and then having him pulled just as quickly as he was in. If Schiano's going to stick with Teel...he can't pull him mid-game to try out Natale and see what happens...because in retrospect it seems like that's what was happening.

Also, booing Teel when he got pulled? I know Rutgers fans have their thoughts on him...but booing the guy when we're leading? I think we're a little better than that.

I didn't find out I was going until like that morning or I would've mentioned it lol. I can't make the Syracuse game due to a Cross Country meet (blah). But yeah I tailgate right at the front of the Red Lot in the reserved spaces haha it's pretty sweet.

That was my thoughts exactly on Natale. I didn't think Teel made mistakes to be pulled for a series. And if Schiano is gonna pull the guy he needs to stay out, you can't juggle back and forth in the middle of the game.
That's only my opinion though, maybe Teel's left arm was sore from when he was sacked? I'm not sure.

I agree about booing him when he went back in. He was playing good ball and he led our scoring drives. That's all you can ask of him at this point. UConn fans were cheering when he went back in. lol
