RUTGERS3828

This game hit garbage time at Q3 9:30 — 28+ point lead, 25:00 or less remaining. The “real” score is frozen at the last genuinely competitive moment; it never changes any ranking or projection elsewhere on the site (see the Garbage Time Reality Check page for the full leaderboard).

RUTGERS37.1%56.8%28 / 50

Weighted splits count each garbage-time snap as 35% of a competitive one toward these rates, rather than excluding or fully counting it — see SITUATIONAL LINE above for this game's unweighted numbers.
