PISCATAWAY -- Whether Chris Ash would like to admit it or not, Rutgers is still alive for a bowl game.
So you can excuse the Rutgers coach for not ripping up his depth chart while giving more playing time to undeserving younger players.
But Johnathan Lewis is in a different boat. While the 2016 All-State quarterback out of St. Peter's Prep might not be ready to single-handily win a Big Ten game now, Lewis is still considered to be the quarterback of Rutgers' future.
The true freshman has hardly taken the Big Ten by storm in his limited playing time, showing flashes as a runner with his four-touchdown performance against lowly Morgan State while struggling to pass the ball with any consistency.
