[I][B]Depth at quarterback position[/B]
Rutgers was already dangerously thin at the quarterback position after the recent dismissal of sophomore Tylin Oden. Now, according to sources, the status of Zach Allen is uncertain due to a potential serious knee injury during Saturday's practice (which was closed to the media). While Rutgers is expected to address the status of his backup quarterback Tuesday, an injury that sidelines Allen long-term would worsen the Scarlet Knights' depth at quarterback.

While Gio Rescigno has drawn consistent praise from Ash for his play throughout the spring, the fourth-year junior will need to fend off incoming freshman Johnathan Lewis for the starting spot this summer.

Rob Nittolo, a graduate transfer out of Southern Connecticut, figured to compete with fellow walk-on Troy Anthony and Allen for the No. 3 spot in training camp.

The bottom line? If Allen is out long-term, Rutgers' QB depth will include a five-game starter who completed less than 53 percent of his passes while averaging 127 passing yards-per-game and throwing as many TDs as INTs last season; an unproven true freshman; and a pair of walk-ons who transferred to Rutgers from lower-division schools.[/I]
