BIG TEN BATTLE IN THE BRONX
The Rutgers University Department of Intercollegiate Athle cs announced Sept. 13 it will
host the Big Ten Ba le in the Bronx, a football and wrestling doubleheader between the
Scarlet Knights and Maryland, at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017. The wrestling
match, which will be the first in the history of
the Stadium, will take place first, before head
coach Chris Ash leads the football team into
ac on later that day.
Never before has a doubleheader such as this
taken place at a venue so iconic, said Director of Athle cs Patrick Hobbs. We are thrilled
to provide our fans this one-of-a-kind experience while enhancing the Big Ten brand in the
worlds media capital. This is certain to be a
very special day. We are thankful to the New
York Yankees, the Big Ten Conference and the
University of Maryland for helping to make it
possible.
ASH ANNOUNCES 2016 TEAM CAPTAINS
Rutgers football head coach Chris Ash announced that fi h-year seniors Darius Hamilton, Chris Muller, Derrick Nelson and Julian
Pinnix-Odrick will serve as 2016 team captains
for the Scarlet Knights. Hamilton earns the

honor for the third-straight year, making him
the first three- me captain in the history of
Rutgers football da ng back to 1869.
THE HUNT
Throughout the Rutgers football facili es are
signs that read The Hunt.
The Hunt is really the theme of the team,
said Ash. Were basically chasing the other
teams in the Big Ten. We cant make any secret
about that. To chase them, we go a go hunt
every single day. Whether its in the weight
room, out in the indoor (bubble) with our special workouts or in prac ce.
KNIGHTED = READY FOR COMBAT
Another tradi on borrowed from head coach
Chris Ashs me at Ohio State, Scarlet Knight
players will have black stripes running along
the crown of their prac ce helmets. Only when
a player has that stripe removed will they see
game ac on.
NFL, your lifespan there could be very short

and then what are you going to do for the rest
of your life? Universi es have programs set up
to help the general students popula on with
alumni, but I think its our obliga on to help
student-athletes in their life a er football.
PLAYER NUTRITION
Upon taking over the Rutgers football program, head coach Chris Ash hired Allison Kreimeier, the teams first full- me director of
performance nutri on whos responsible for
making sure players understand the dos and
donts of ea ng right and staying hydrated.
There is so much that were pu ng into
sports science and nutri on. Were trying to
promote the right type of lifestyle that helps
you maximize performance.
-RU-
The black stripe is a symbol that when its removed from your helmet, you are game ready,
youre combat ready to go play, said Ash. The
players know that if they have a black stripe on
their helmet, they will not play in a game here.
Theyre not ready. Theyre not ready in terms
of their ability, in terms of their trust level and
a lot of other things that can go into it.
SCARLET KNIGHTS WORK TO BE 10 STRONG
One of the mantras seen around the Rutgers
football program is 10 Strong which refers
to the 10 posi on groups on the team: Quarterback, running back, ght end, wide receiver, oensive line, defensive line, linebacker,
cornerback, safety and specialist. Head coach
Chris Ash stresses the importance of all those
units working at a high level in unison to reach
peak performance.
That really is one of the ul mate goals of the
program, said Ash. Were not going to talk
about winning, were not going to talk about
championships, were not going to talk about
red-le er games and things like that. Were
going to talk about the process of ge ng 10
strong. We have 10 posi on groups of the
football team when you count the oense,
defense and the specialists together. If we can
get 10 units opera ng at maximum capacity,
then were going to have a chance for success.
Thats really what its all about for us.
LIFE BEYOND THE GAME
Rutgers head coach Chris Ash ins tuted the
Life Beyond the Game program, designed at
preparing football players for their careers after their college playing days have ended.
The percentage of our guys going to the NFL is
very small, said Ash. Even if you do go to the

A new era begins for the Birthplace of College Football as Chris
Ash takes over as the 30th head coach in the 148-year history
of Rutgers football.
A coach with na onal championship pedigree, Ash arrives On
the Banks, with nearly two decades of collegiate coaching experience, including five years in the Big Ten Conference (four

THE ASH FILE

Hometown: Oumwa, Iowa
Alma Mater: Drake, 1996
Masters Degree: Iowa State, 2005
Wife: Doreen
Children: Sons, Tanner and Brady; Daughter, Jacey
THE ROAD TO RU
The 42-year-old Ash served as co-defensive coordinator and

safe es coach at Ohio State and helped lead the Buckeyes to
the 2014 na onal championship.
Rutgers
2016-Present: Head Coach
In his five seasons as a defensive coordinator, Ash pioneered

four groups ranked in the top 25 sta s cally, including a top10 defensive unit in 2015. As the defense coordinator at Wisconsin in 2011 and 2012, the Badgers
put together back-to-back seasons ranked 15th overall in total defense. The 2011 squad was 13th in
scoring defense while the 2012 team turned in a 17th-place ranking.
Ohio State
2014-15: Co-Defensive Coordinator/Safees
Ash was hired by Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer in January 2014 to improve a Buckeye defense
that placed 112th in pass defense and 47th in total defense in 2013. In his first season, OSUs defense
ranked 19th na onally in total defense and 29th in pass defense. The Buckeyes also ranked fourth in
the country with 24 intercep ons en route to Big Ten, Sugar Bowl and na onal championships.
Wisconsin
2011-12: Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Backs
2010: Defensive Backs
In 2015, the Ohio State defense con nued its strides under Ash, ranking second in scoring defense
na onally and ninth-best in total defense. The Buckeyes earned a berth in the Fiesta Bowl, finishing
the season with a 12-1 record a er defea ng Notre Dame in the bowl game.
The 2016 NFL Dra saw numerous players from Ashs defensive unit selected, including the first overall defensive player in Joey Bosa, who was picked third by the San Diego Chargers. In all, the dra
featured six defensive players taken from Ohio State with three in the first round.
Prior to taking over the OSU defense, Ash held the defensive coordinator post and coached the secondary at the University of Arkansas in the Southeastern Conference in 2013 under head coach Bret
Bielema. He helped improve Arkansas pass defense in his one season in Faye eville, with the Razorbacks defense finishing 72nd na onally in passing yards allowed a er ranking 113th in 2012.
Ash was first promoted to the defensive coordinator role in the Big Ten while at the University of
Wisconsin, where he spent three seasons with the Badgers. His 2011 defense led the Big Ten (conference games only) in total defense and pass defense eciency, and it ranked fourth na onally in
fewest passing yards allowed (163.6), 13th in scoring (19.0) and 15th in total defense (316.4). In 2012,
the UW defense ranked 15th na onally in total defense (322.5), 17th in scoring (19.1), 18th in fewest
passing yards allowed (193.6), 22nd in pass eciency and 24th against the run (128.9).
Ash began his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant at his alma mater, Drake University,
in 1997. He was promoted to defensive coordinator for the next two seasons before moving on to
Iowa State University in 2000. Ash spent eight seasons over two dierent s nts in Ames, including
the 2009 season, during which current Houston head coach Tom Herman was also on the sta. Ash
progressed from graduate assistant with the Cyclones in 2000-01 to defensive backs coach for a total
of six seasons.
Ash spent the 2007 and 2008 seasons at San Diego State University as the defensive backs coach and
recrui ng coordinator under head coach and College Football Hall of Fame inductee Chuck Long.
Ash has produced numerous instruc onal videos, including a three-video series -- Aggressive 4-3
Defense -- that includes shu ng down the passing game and stung the run segments. He has
coached 34 dierent players that have gone on to sign NFL contracts.
A na ve of O umwa, Iowa, Ash earned his undergraduate degree from Drake in 1996, and was a twome le erwinner at defensive back for the Bulldogs. He is one of three from that era of Drake football
to become a FBS head coach, joining Dave Doeren (NC State) and Charlie Partridge (Florida Atlan c).
