Here's what Greg Schiano said after Rutgers loss to Michigan State
To say that Rutgers struggled against Michigan State would be a massive understatement.
The Scarlet Knights kept it close with the Spartans in the first half and were down just 8 going into halftime and couldn’t close the gap in the 2nd half.
Rutgers didn’t score a single point in the 3rd and 4th quarters as Noah Vedral completed just 50% of his passes while those went for 208 yards. MSU ended up outscoring Rutgers 10-0 in that half to win 31-13 and in the process, got to 6-0 on the season. The Scarlet Knights meanwhile, dropped to 3-3.
After the contest, head coach Greg Schiano spoke to the media on a multitude of topics, including how his younger players played.
#Rutgers HC Greg Schiano said OC Sean Gleeson didn't feel Vedral was healthy enough to put back in the game.

Schiano said that the guys had bad eye discipline and when you have bad eye discipline, you make bad plays.
