AJ Surace starts at quarterback for Rutgers against Boston College

Rutgers coach Greg Schiano confirmed that AJ Surace will start at quarterback in Friday's game against Boston College at Alumni Stadium. This decision follows Dylan Lonergan’s inability to practice throughout the week. Lonergan sustained an injury during the fourth quarter of the team's 37-21 season-opening loss to UMass last Thursday. In that outing, Lonergan recorded 242 passing yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions before his exit. The status of Lonergan for the upcoming matchup remains uncertain, with his availability pending the pre-game injury report. Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien noted the difficulty of preparing for a skilled player like Lonergan ahead of the Red Bandana game. Kickoff for the contest is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
