Rutgers awaits status update for quarterback Dylan Lonergan before Boston College

Summary

Rutgers faces uncertainty at quarterback heading into Friday’s game against Boston College. Starter Dylan Lonergan suffered an injury during the fourth quarter of a 37-21 season-opening loss to UMass on Thursday, Sept. 3. Coach Greg Schiano confirmed Lonergan was removed from the game due to the injury rather than performance. Lonergan, a transfer from Boston College, finished his first Rutgers start with 242 passing yards and two touchdowns but committed three interceptions and lost a fumble. AJ Surace replaced him late in the game, completing six of nine attempts with one touchdown pass. Schiano is scheduled to address the media Tuesday, but no immediate update regarding Lonergan’s availability has been provided.
