From the moment he was introduced as Rutgers' head coach in December, Chris Ash said the program would be built on competition. Ash provided a strong reminder of that core principle this week when Rutgers added TCU quarterback Zach Allen as a graduate transfer.
Chris Laviano and Hayden Rettig engaged in a tight battle for the starting quarterback job during spring practice. The addition of Allen will only intensify the competition this summer.
Ash didn't make any secret about the fact that he wasn't thrilled with the quarterback play this spring.
