Rutgers to stick with Noah Vedral at quarterback — and it’s the right decision

Noah Vedral has been the target of some harsh criticism since his three-interception performance in a 23-20 loss to Illinois on Saturday.

During his Monday press conference, Greg Schiano announced that the Nebraska transfer will start in Week 5 against Michigan.

“Noah is our starting quarterback,” Schiano said. “And I think I probably need to, from our standpoint at least, kind of settle things down a little bit.”

This is important to remember throughout the pandemic-shortened season that we are currently watching in 2020. The Scarlet Knights are in a complete rebuild. It was exciting to watch Schiano win his first game back and see the defense force seven turnovers against Michigan State, but it might have caused some expectations that should not have come up this quickly.
