Talk about Mandela Effect, I could sworn thats how the game ended, the kicker pointing at the camera and the fans swarming the field. I must've completely forget there was 13 seconds left

When Ito points at the camera after making the kick.. it's one of those iconic shots man. Everytime I think of this game; that what I think of. The dude knew he put Rutgers on top of the world that night.

​@@josephmanno4514lmao right, what's that fool talking about Rutgers at #2😂 Rutgers jumped to #7 next week after this win but proceeded to waste all their momentum by losing to Cincinnati

This was back when college football was appreciated by the media, before they basically ended an entire conference and basically made CFB a SEC vs Clemson matchup Thanks fot uploading one of the best games of the century

Rutgers has a great run under Schiano the first go around. Nationally ranked, bowls every year, and sent tons of players to the NFL. Ray Rice, Kenny Britt, Mohamed Sanu, the Mcordy brothers, Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon, and others.

New Jersey sports fans are amazing!

What a time to be alive…I LOVED this season 🥲

Yes, I almost cry just feeling the nostalgia thinking about this season. I was like 18,19 and I remember me and my friend actually trying to hurry and get off work and making it home to catch this game, it actually had alot hype that week!

Worth it to mention, that tackle on the kick return, couldve been the final play of the game, was made by the rutgers kicker. the kicker who just won the game for them. the amount of mini stories in this story, what a wonderful game.

Peak Rutgers

I’m #34 on Louisville in the video thumbnail. If we don’t go offsides … we’re the Florida team that goes and destroys Ohio State that year instead of Tebow. I’m still sick about this lol.

As a Louisville fan, this was our one opportunity to play for a championship and we blew it 😓

Rutgers beating top 5 teams in back to back years

This game still hurt me till this day😢go!! Cards!!!

That Thursday night on the banks. Near the 137th anniversary of the first game against Princeton. No other big game on that night. Don’t think a single person slept a minute in the state of New Jersey that night.

The big east had some decent football years. Better than the current ACC

That catch, run, fumble and fumble recovery @7:54 was such a crazy play.

He caught that in stride to gain all sorts of extra yardage.

To add insult to injury for UL fans, on Rutgers' kicker missed the winning field goal on his first attempt. But Louisville was off sides giving Rutgers a 2nd chance, which of course, he made it the 2nd time.

The Rutgers kicker actually missed the game-winning FG, but Louisville jumped offsides trying to block it. His retry was good and it was a heart-breaking game for UL fans- we would've played Ohio St for the National Championship in '06..and we would've beaten them!

WVU beat RU with their back-up QB in double OT in Morgantown and I was torn who to pull for since an RU win would've landed them in a major bowl and the best WVU could do was play in the Gator Bowl.
