Coach Chris Ash spoke to the media following today’s heart wrenching 33-27 loss to Indiana. The Scarlet Knights were previously 2-0 against the Hoosiers, but this year everything is different.
While we lost, the team did not look bad by any means, even some improvements. In that sense the Coach is pleased. Today’s main struggle was man-to-man coverage especially in the secondary. Rutgers’ corners struggled to keep up with Indiana’s receivers and committed penalties and allowed great catches.
Coach Ash also said that third downs are a huge issue with this team as they went a mere 1/16 on third down conversions today.
