Tight finish Johnny Langan threw and caught a landing move as Rutgers rolled to a 66-7 rout of Wagner on Saturday in Piscataway, N.J.
Extremely-touted recruit Gavin Wimsatt made his first profession begin at quarterback, however Rutgers coach Greg Schiano continued to jockey the place between the redshirt freshman and third-year sophomore Evan Simon. Veteran sign caller Noah Vedral remained out with an upper-body harm.
“They each did some actually good issues. I believe there’s some issues that we’ve actually acquired to get higher, quick, as a result of time is our enemy proper now,” Schiano stated. “Now now we have two tapes to show from, two recreation tapes, and we’ll do a number of issues with reduce ups and placing these video games collectively and displaying them.”
After Wagner opened the sport with a 31-yard move play, Rutgers’ protection tightened and stopped the Seahawks on fourth-and-4. Rutgers proceeded to go down the sphere on an 11-play, 62-yard drive spanning 4:27, capped by a Kyle Monangai 2-yard landing run to take an early lead.
Simon later threw a 40-yard landing move, Wimsatt added a 41-yarder and Langan, a former quarterback, related with Isaiah Washington on a 43-yard landing move because the Scarlet Knights (2-0) scored on their first 4 possessions.
“I used to be actually pleased for him as a result of regardless of how far he goes in soccer enjoying tight finish, he’s a quarterback at coronary heart,” Schiano stated. “So he enjoys that.”
For Simon and Wimsatt, the landing passes had been the primary of their careers. “It was superior. Very long time coming,” Simon stated. “AC (Aron Cruickshank) is a good participant, and he made a heck of a catch.”
Simon threw a 10-yard landing move to Langan late within the second quarter to stretch the Scarlet Knights’ result in 38-7 at halftime.
Each sign callers stated the quarterback carousel doesn’t have an effect on their rhythm.
“Actually, I don’t assume it impacts it in any respect actually,” Wimsatt stated. “No matter coach wants us to win the sport, and I really feel like we decide up one another’s power, which is nice, you already know, he threw a landing. Completely satisfied for him on the sidelines after which I went on the market and did that one and he’s proper there to greet me once I get again on the sideline.”
Nick Kargman discovered Jayvin Little behind the top zone for a 8-yard landing pass-and-catch to cap an eight-play, 75-yard drive early within the second quarter for Wagner (0-2).
