No player has endured more scrutiny from the previous two seasons of losing that Rutgers football experienced than former starting quarterback Artur Sitkowski. He led college football in interceptions as a true freshman and was accused by some of quitting on the team after deciding to redshirt midway through last season after former head coach Chris Ash and offensive coordinator John McNulty were fired.
For a second straight season opener, Sitkowski, the former 4-star prospect, watched a transfer quarterback lead Rutgers to victory while he remained on the sidelines. While he won the job back quickly last season, that hasn’t been the case this season.
