Rutgers suffered one of the most painful losses in program history against Illinois on Saturday. Where does it rank among the rest?

One decision that backfired. In the end, Rutgers was left with a heartbreaking loss. This defeat certainly won’t ruin the season – the Scarlet Knights are still bowl bound, and they still have a chance to beat a very mediocre Michigan State team in the regular-season finale to earn a program-defining seventh win.

No. 24 Illinois (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten) put together a weird, wild, wondrous fourth-quarter rally Saturday in Piscataway, New Jersey, to walk away with a 38-31 road victory over Rutgers (6-5, 3-5 Big Ten).
