Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano Addresses Quarterback Miscues in USC Postgame Press Conference
Schiano addresses turnover issues as team nears last seasons’ turnover mark after just three games.
In the wake of a 42-35 defeat to No. 12 USC, Rutgers Scarlet Knights head coach Greg Schiano addressed the media in a postgame press conference. A query arose about the team's decision to revert to quarterback Dylan Lonergan after his injury-induced absence. Schiano explained, "We started Dylan at the beginning of training camp and decided he was the starter.
AJ played well at BC, but we intended to return to Dylan as long as he was healthy. I have full confidence in both quarterbacks." Turning to the issue of turnovers, Schiano emphasized, "We must cease turning the ball over. Our turnover count now stands at 10 in three games, compared to just 11 all last year. We're not a team that can afford such errors and hope to win.
The solution is within reach – we must address it." He added, "I hear the frustration clearly, but we will rectify it." The press conference also included comments on the wide receiver play. Despite the setbacks, Schiano remains optimistic that Rutgers could have won against USC and Boston College if they had managed their turnovers better.
