Browne caught his own pass and lost the fumble at his own 30 with 59 seconds left, which led to the winning field goal."
""It took 60 minutes," Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "I'm really proud of our guys. We needed this one. The players believed and kept doing what we asked. It was a physical football game. We got guys walking off on crutches. We need to regroup. If guys keep chopping the way they have, we'll continue to get better.""
