PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Rutgers will become just the seventh team in NCAA history to start 1-5 and reach a bowl game. A good bet is the Papajohns.com Bowl, but the Meineke Bowl, International Bowl and Motor City Bowl are also in the mix.
Then again, after this performance, maybe they ought to let the Scarlet Knights represent the Big East in the BCS. They're easily the conference's hottest team.
Teel has thrown for 1,737 yards and 20 touchdowns in his last five games, helping the Scarlet Knights average more than 46 points per game over that stretch. The defense hasn't been bad, either: It hasn't allowed a first-half touchdown the past two games.
Hunter Cantwell threw for 270 yards and a touchdown in his final game for Louisville.
