Rutgers OC Jerry Kill's offense like 'Wisconsin and TCU mixed on drugs'

BRIDGEWATER -- If you are wondering about the end result of crossing a spread offense with a pro-style offense, you share the same thought at least one of Jerry Kill's former quarterbacks once had.

Philip Nelson was Minnesota's Mr. Football award-winner as the top high school player in the state as a senior. His decision to stay home for college was rewarded when he became Kill's Big Ten starter as a true freshman and sophomore for the 2012-13 Golden Gophers.

So Nelson knows better than most what Rutgers offense will look like in 2017, with Kill calling the plays from his new post as offensive coordinator.
