You wanted fireworks in Piscataway for Rutgers’ season opener? You did. There were literal fireworks, in the sky above SHI Stadium after the game. There were also figurative fireworks, in a brief but tense postgame meeting between the two head coaches.

Howard coach Larry Scott was displeased that fellow Rutgers forward Greg Schiano allowed his offense to score a last-second touchdown in a game that was far out of reach. “Have some class,” Scott said after their handshake, according to witnesses, prompting Schiano to abruptly turn to the visiting coach for a second confrontation before they went their separate ways.
