Rapid reaction to Rutgers' 28-21 loss at Boston College to fall to 0-2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greg Schiano's team was not ready to play and it was one of the worst coached games in his career. Four interceptions inside the BC 35 and failing to convert on 4th down in scoring position were killers. While the defense generated three takeaways, far too many blown coverages in this game. With Rutgers 0-2, all hope is lost and the dark days are in full swing once again. Schiano 2.0 is as good as over and until a change is made, the future for this program is bleak.#rutgersfootball

Read excerpt
The Scarlet Knights were thoroughly outcoached and outplayed in an all-time embarrassing loss to UMass in the 2026 season opener. Turnovers, penalties, an inability to run, another terrible defensive performance result in the worst loss of Greg Schiano's career at Rutgers. With a massive buyout, AD Keli Zinn has a huge dilemma with not a lot of options at the moment to end the Schiano era and rebuild the program. A full rapid reaction here.#rutgersfootball
