PISCATAWAY – There was a Big East title.

There was a BCS berth, there was a visit from "College Game Day" and with a coach who said, "Our best could be The best." There was a national title.

Rutgers opened the season with a roll of reamy aims to play for. Now, there's not one on that high-flying list the Scarlet Knights can play for. And that, in the end, may be what saves this season.

"All we have to play for right now is our seniors and ourselves," tailback Ray Rice said. "And the funny thing is, if we'd played like that all year long, I think we would've been fine."
