LOS ANGELES -- Lindsay Lohan was ordered taken into custody and led out of a courtroom Friday, returning again to a Los Angeles County jail after being sentenced to 120 days for violating her probation by taking a designer necklace.

Same old Rutgers... except they scratch their way back into the game. Teel and Ray Rice plus a defense of swarming midgets manage to halt the Lousville advance and beat the lead back. Rutgers ties it at 25 and gets the ball back on its own nine with 5:28 remaining. The grinding drive features a critical third-down conversion from fullback Brian Leonard (who deserves a medal).
