PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Two things remain the same as coach Chris Ash enters his second year at Rutgers. There will be an open quarterback competition conducted under a new offensive coordinator.
Last year's offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer left to join his mentor Tom Herman at Texas as the wide receivers coach. Rutgers upgraded with Jerry Kill, who returns to the sidelines after he was forced to leave his post as coach of Minnesota in 2015 due to epilepsy.
While the offense is moving from Mehringer's power spread to Kill's hybrid of a pro-style and spread offense, the signal callers look a lot different from last year.
