While Rutgers technically cleared the ball (got it across midfield), UNC's ride was relentless literally taking it away before Rutgers could do anything, negating the clear.  Rutgers should be credited with the transition work they did, always thinking attack once the defense got the ball.  I'm not sure they would have kept the score close had they not been aggressive in transition.   (Now I must wash, I said something good about Rutgers).

SU's ride was better this year than I remember of late, but UNC's ride was punishing almost the entire game.  Defense starts once the opposing team gets the ball.

For the record, my animus towards Rutgers is due to two main points: 1) their fans are generally useless, arrogant, ignorant, belligerent, and moronic.  Not all, but most are, and they are fair weather fans.  I.e. their fans believe they will rule the B1G East division, over UM, tOSU, PedState, and MSU.  Many quit watching whichever season once sufficient games are lost that they will not win a championship.  2) The athletic department is run by people who have begged, borrowed, and stolen from students, the University, and the citizens of NJ.  They are still one of the top ADs in losing money annually even with the B1G/BTN money rolling in.  They have lost between one half billion dollars and a billion dollars over the past 15-20 years and the money will never be repaid.  They are behind in the improvements they agreed to with the B1G and are really a disgrace in virtually every way possible.  Their sole claim to fame is they are close to NYC so B1G alumni can see their teams play once in a while.

I can think of many other schools who do far more with much less who are deserving of all the benefits Rutgers has.
