Making the move last season from years in the pro-style offense to the spread offense -- the scheme that coach Chris Ash finds most difficult to defend and that was then-offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer's specialty -- proved disastrous for Rutgers because the playbook did not fit the personnel.
Enter offensive coordinator Jerry Kill, whose multiple-look offense is a mix of shotgun an under-center snaps, of huddle and no huddle, and of different personnel groupings. Kill hasn't been anything other than a head coach since 1993, but he has called plays from his top perch.
