Coach Ash spoke to the media this evening after a rough 24-7 homecoming loss to Illinois. Coach pulled Laviano during the game and put in Giovanni Rescigno, who actually played pretty well.
Rescigno threw for a touchdown, Rutgers’ first since September 24. He threw another touchdown on Rutgers’ next drive. This time, though, he threw it to the team in orange whom took it 78 yards for a touchdown of their own.
It was a game where the offense had some kick to it and the defense played relatively well. In the end, they did not perform long or strong enough to emerge victorious.
