Why did Rutgers coach Chris Ash call to the bullpen before halftime?
"I just needed something different," he said when asked why he benched true freshman quarterback Artur Sitkowski and brought in redshirt senior Gio Rescigno with 4:30 to go in the second half of the Scarlet Knights' 42-13 loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
"Art didn't necessarily do anything wrong in the game. We just were sputtering. There wasn't much happening on offense, and I just felt like we needed something different. I gave a senior captain an opportunity to go see if he could spark the offense.
