Chris Ash isn't the type of coach who makes boastful predictions. In his introductory press conference as Rutgers football coach, Ash said he wouldn't put a timeline on how long it would take to rebuild a Scarlet Knights program coming off a tumultuous 2015 campaign.
But something changed as Rutgers flipped the calendar to 2018. No, Ash isn't making any guarantees that the Scarlet Knights will post a winning record in his third season in Piscataway.
But as the Scarlet Knights began preparing for the 2018 campaign in earnest, Ash painted a more optimistic view of what could be in store this season.
