New Web Site

Rutgers Athletics has updated its official Web site. I like the new look, although for some reason the video section took awhile to load on my machine, so they may still be working out some kinks. But it's been many years since the site got some sprucing up so I think the response to it will be good.

Rutgers vs. Illinois Preview and a Bit of a Bye-Week Roundup

Image
scarletknights.com After two-weeks to work on fundamentals, get a bit healthier, and prepare for Saturday's showdown with the University of Illinois Fighting Illini , Rutgers finally gets the chance to go back to showing the improvement that we saw at the start of the season. Coach Ash said that the staff "took a hard look at all three phases." The Scarlet Knights head into the contest at Memorial Stadium in Champaign to face what appears to be the most beatable opponent on the remaining schedule. Saying the Illini are beatable and then going to their home field and doing that are two different things. Like Rutgers , the Fighting Illini have recently been embroiled in a quarterback controversy. Sophomore Jeff George, Jr., just wrested the job from junior Chayce Crouch. George gives the Illini a QB with a very strong arm who can sling the ball downfield, much like his father. However, in the small sample of his play, he's also been prone to interceptions...

Due to a need to focus on other things in my personal and professional lives, I haven't blogged since the middle of last season. But after the events of the past few weeks I feel compelled to share my thoughts on the Rutgers football program. I understand the frustrations of the fan base. We're all frustrated because we want our team to be successful and the school to have the increased stature that good sports programs add to the perception of a university. But first and foremost, I am an alumnus of the school and I always will be. As such, I will always support the student athletes at the school at which I earned my undergraduate degree. I root for professional sports teams, too. When I root for one of my favorite pro teams I refer to the players and those associated with the team as "they." In conversation, when I refer to student athletes or people associated with Rutgers athletics teams or the university in general I refer to it as "we." Every Rutger...

Gio Rescigno to Start vs. Illinois According to Sources

Image
Giovanni Rescigno (scarletknights.com) Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media is reporting that "multiple sources" have told them that Giovanni Rescigno will get the nod as Rutgers' primary quarterback today. Johnathan Lewis could potentially start the first series, and is likely to have an expanded role, but that Rescigno will be the primary QB. Check out his article here. I have a few thoughts about this. The first is that it makes sense because it confirms the reports that Gio was getting more reps during this past week of practice. Second, it could be that the Rutgers sources are trying to throw the media off and that Lewis will actually play more reps. And third, on the chance that Rutgers opens the game with Lewis at quarterback with the intent to play Rescigno the most, those plans could change if Lewis were to drive the ball down the field on the Scarlet Knights' first drive. Should be interesting game. Go Knights!
