On Saturday, Rutgers football gets set to host its annual spring Scarlet-White Game at SHI Stadium. After the conclusion of 14 spring practices, Rutgers football is ready to see one final evaluation before the 2023 season is underway.
For the last month, the Scarlet Knights have been installing a new system under offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca while attempting to make strides on defense. Players’ jobs won’t be won or lost on Saturday, but the scrimmage will provide where the competition stands.
The quarterback competition between sophomore Gavin Wimsatt and junior Evan Simon will be a focal point on Saturday. In five games last season, Wimsatt threw for 757 yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Through nine games last season (two starts), Simon threw for 777 yards, four touchdowns, and six interceptions. The two quarterbacks have been evaluated throughout the spring and will face off against each other on Saturday.
