Greg Schiano Bowl Quotations

HISTORY' means the goal this year was to go make history and win a bowl game. Rutgers has never won a bowl game. So we'll try to make history. That's been (the goal) since spring ball.

Right now, with where we are with this program ... we still have a lot of things that are out there on the table for us. One of them is to secure a bowl bid and play good football.

Everything to our players is new, unique, and exciting. When you've been to a bowl every year of your college career, by bowl three or four, you're like, 'OK, that's better than that bowl.' It becomes almost compare and contrast. Right now with us it's like every gift they receive, every event they're scheduled to go to, you see a genuine excitement on their face.

Ultimately, I didn't know which path he would take. I thought Brian did it in a great way. He played a tremendous bowl game, and he had the ability to kind of put it on the shelf until it was time to deal with it.

This is not a one-year stint; they laid the foundation for our football program to move forward. My biggest disappointment is for those guys because I wanted them to complete the experience, to be a bowl champion, not just a bowl participant. It's something that hasn't been done around here for 27 years. We'll be back.
