Rutgers coach Schiano evaluates quarterback status before USC game

Rutgers faces uncertainty at the quarterback position following a 0-2 start to the season. AJ Surace earned his first career start in a 28-21 loss to Boston College on September 11, throwing four interceptions during the game. He replaced Dylan Lonergan, who sat out due to injury after a difficult performance in the team's opening loss to UMass. Schiano stated that the coaching staff will review game tape and monitor health status before naming a starter for the upcoming home game against USC on September 19. Both quarterbacks struggled throughout training camp and in their respective appearances, leaving the starting role undecided. The program aims to identify the player who provides the best opportunity to secure a victory.
