Everything Greg Schiano said after Rutgers' win over Howard
- After Rutgers' 58-7 win over Howard, Greg Schiano said the offense had 10 turnovers in its first three 2026 games but none against Howard, while Rutgers forced three. He tied the improvement to players and coaches staying focused on their individual jobs; he did not announce a new scheme for Indiana.
- Schiano said quarterback Dylan Lonergan was decisive against Howard and did not force plays when reads were absent. He said forcing plays had been an issue for both Lonergan and A.J. earlier. This is his postgame evaluation, not a confirmed starter decision for Indiana.
- Rutgers kicker Dane Pizaro made three field goals against Howard. Schiano praised his quick-rising kick trajectory, long-range leg and consistent operation, saying a fast-rising ball helps limit blocks; he made no guarantee about future attempts.

Halftime observations: Rutgers football is rolling over Howard
- Against Howard, Rutgers started Chris Vigna at left tackle, Tyler Needham at left guard, Terrence Salami at center, Kobe Asamoah at right guard and Mo Giwa at right tackle. Everett Small rotated at left tackle on the third series and right tackle on the fourth. This is observed first-half line use, not a permanent depth chart.
- Dylan Lonergan started for Rutgers against Howard and went 3-for-3 on the opening drive, then connected with Ben Black for 13 yards and KJ Duff for a 77-yard gain on the first two scoring drives. These are first-half plays after two rough starts, not a full-game quarterback evaluation.
- Rutgers defensive back Bradlee Jones intercepted Howard twice in the first half, including a diving grab in the second quarter. The halftime report credits his reads but supplies no lineup promotion or full-game turnover total.
