Rutgers sophomore quarterback Tom Savage is transferring

In the end, it’s not unexpected…although the hiring of pro-style offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. was thought by many to be a reason to stay.  But disgruntled Rutgers sophomore quarterback Tom Savage is transferring.  R-U head coach Greg Schiano made the announcement this afternoon, ending Savage’s up-and-down two seasons on the Banks of the Old Raritan.  Savage had an outstanding true freshman season but injury and ineffectiveness derailed his sophomore campaign, leading to true freshman Chas Dodd’s ascension to the starting job.  Now, there will be no more quarterback controversy.  The job is all Dodd’s now…along with all the pressure heading into a key season at RU in 2011 following this year’s disappointing end to a five-year bowl game run.
