COLUMBUS, Ohio — We get that at some point during his 11-year tenure as Rutgers football head coach Greg Schiano probably offered a similar proclamation about the Scarlet Knights fan base.
But on a day when he faced Rutgers for the first time as an assistant coach since serving as Miami's defensive coordinator in 2000, Schiano – who now serves as Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator — made it his allegiance clear.
During a pregame pep rally at Ohio State's old basketball arena, Schiano was handed the microphone and offered a speech to excite the Buckeyes fans.
