Benefits To Starting The Season With Chris Laviano At QB

Rutgers football head coach Chris Ash announced yesterday that Chris Laviano will begin the season as the starting quarterback. As expected, the reaction from fans was about an even split. I previously went into length as to why it’s important for fans to give Laviano a clean slate at the start of this season, but I also understand the reservations of some. Part of the lukewarm response to Laviano being named starter is a natural fear he will not relinquish his spot regardless of performance. However, Ash made it clear yesterday he will be judged on a game by game basis like every other player.
