AJ Surace Named Rutgers Starting QB for Week 2
Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano has named AJ Surace the starting quarterback for the team's Week 2 game against Boston College. Week 1 starter Dylan Lonergan left the team's surprising loss to Massachusetts with an undisclosed injury, which led to the change for this coming week. Lonergan completed 16-of-29 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, but was picked off three times in Week 1; he also lost a fumble. Surace was 6-of-9 passing for 77 yards and a touchdown, while failing to produce anything on the ground. Rutgers' offense produced 349 total yards of offense, but four turnovers allowed UMass to pull the upset. Boston College will provide a tougher challenge for the Scarlet Knights, and now with a new starting quarterback, all of Rutgers' fantasy players get a slight downgrade. Wide receiver KJ Duff was the only bright spot offensively for the Scarlet Knights last week; he caught nine passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns.
