Piscataway, NJ — Welcome back to game day, Rutgers Football fans! The Scarlet Knights will take the field later today when Miami (OH) visits SHI Stadium for the first time ever.

“It’s Miami Ohio season,” Head Coach Greg Schiano said on Monday. “Miami is a really good football team, as you watch them against Wisconsin, but as we watch them last year, and they’ve been in the MAC championship game the last two years, really, Coach Martin is certainly an experienced coach. He’s won a lot of games, he’s won everywhere he’s been, a lot of respect for him and the way he runs his program.”

Miami (OH) Football’s Head Coach Chuck Martin was also very complimentary of the Scarlet Knights program.

“So moving forward to Rutgers, obviously a different challenge,” Coach Martin said. “Offensively, they are a totally different animal than the team we just played from both style and experience. They got a lot of guys back on an offense that was really good a year ago. They run it, they throw it, they’re really physical, they’re nasty up front, they have a quarterback that can do a lot of different things and makes great decisions like every good quarterback does. So it’ll be a really, really great challenge for our defense.”
