Rutgers Football: Previewing the 2015 QB battle

With Gary Nova's departure, a pair of sophomores, Chris Laviano and Hayden Rettig, are battling to be Rutgers' starting quarterback in 2015.

After the expected (but still devastating) news on Friday was healed a bit by Anthony Russo's commitment on Monday, the Rutgers quarterback talk shifts from the future to the present.  With Gary Nova gone, the big question is who will be under center in 2015?

Head coach Kyle Flood has stated the battle is a two-horse race between a pair of red-shirt sophomores: Chris Laviano and Hayden Rettig.  Following the spring game, in which Laviano threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns, Flood stated Laviano had the edge, but that the contest still remains wide open.
