Another bad news hits the Rutgers: The head coach of the Rutgers shed tears as four of his star players made a final decision…
Ann Arbor, Michigan: Rutgers has committed three offensive penalties in the first three games of the season, logging 202 snaps: two deliberate game delays to give punter Flynn Appleby extra space and one holding call on guard Mike Ciaffoni against Temple. The Scarlet Knights had appeared to have solved the problem a year after averaging eight penalties per game, which put them in the bottom 10 nationally.
Madison, Wisconsin Although Rutgers coach Greg Schiano doesn’t typically make lengthy introductory remarks, on Saturday he had a message to deliver.
He stressed that the Scarlet Knights did not capitalize on their opportunities in a 24–13 loss against Wisconsin and that they are not yet at the point as a program where they can march into Madison and pull off the upset from his seat at a table in a media room in the basement of Camp Randall Stadium.
Over time, Rutgers supporters have grown accustomed to coach speak and clichés.
On Saturday, Rutgers Football played its first scrimmage of the preseason. While players acted out game-like scenarios, coaches had the opportunity to watch the team in action. Speaking to the reporters, head coach Greg Schiano adopted a different tone following a dismal offensive showing.
As he begins his fourth year in Piscataway, Schiano must demonstrate that Rutgers is getting better.
“We were careless early on,” Schiano said. Not really accurate. We improved later in the scrimmage. I’m not sure if nerves were to blame.
This is Schiano’s second alteration that we have seen thus far. Before Big Ten Media Days, he announced Gavin Wimsatt as the starting quarterback.
.. It’s possible that Kirk Ciarrocca played some role in the hiring of him as offensive coordinator. After the scrimmage, Schiano dropped the coach talk and spoke openly about his squad, his quarterback, and their situation.
The most crucial thing about Wimsatt, according to Schiano, is that he looked after the football. He appeared a bit hurried at times. I believe he is simply thrilled; therefore, we will need to play that off of him. He managed the offense and made sure we were in and out of the plays that we desired to be in. He wasn’t as accurate as what we saw in practice when I said “sped up,” but he was nonetheless motivated.
When asked about Wimsatt’s play, Schiano also discussed other topics. There are a lot of ambiguities.
