Rutgers Football Making Competition Fun

Rutgers football coach Chris Ash has made many changes to the program since his arrival last December. The most obvious change from a coaching perspective so far has been his focus on making every activity the players experience into a competition. The players are constantly tracked, pushed, and motivated towards competing to the best of their abilities in whatever they are doing in that moment. The philosophy has flipped from the previous coaching regime, where looking over your shoulder in fighting for a spot on the depth chart is preferred. A prime example of that is Ash adding graduate transfer quarterback Zach Allen to the roster this week.
