14-7 Orange

This isn't good. It isn't good at all. Tim Brown just dropped a pass right in his hands and with the first quarter coming to a close, the Knights are punting from their own 28, trailing 14-7.

Mike Teel's first pass of the game was intercepted, and the Orange scored on their third play from scrimmage. Then Curtis Brinkley -- who came into the game averaging a paltry 2.6 yards per carry and had only one touchdown -- scored to make it 14-0.

Ray Rice scored on a seven yard run to make it 14-7, but the Rutgers defense is making the country's 116th-ranked offense look a lot better than it is. And the Knights have been plagued by penalties, incuding an offisdes call on Howard Barbieri, an offensive tackle who's being used as s tight end.

The Knights better turn this around. If they don't, it will be a low point in the season that no one thought they'd ever reach.
