Jerry Kill on the Rutgers offense: 'It will be quarterback-friendly'

Before tapping Jerry Kill as his new offensive coordinator, Rutgers coach Chris Ash put together a string of requirements in his search for a new offensive coordinator last week.

Finding someone who can develop quarterbacks, Ash said, ranked near the top of the list.

"We have a relatively young, inexperienced quarterback group,'' Ash said. "I wanted to find someone that could develop our quarterbacks.''

Following the transfers of Chris Laviano, Hayden Rettig and Mike Dare, Rutgers will head into spring camp with rising sophomore Tylin Oden and fourth-year junior Gio Rescigno in an open battle for the starting quarterback spot.
