This Saturday, Rutgers and Maryland face off at High Point Solutions Stadium in, quite frankly, one of the least anticipated games in the Big Ten this season. After both programs enjoyed a strong first year in the Big Ten, both the Scarlet Knights and Terps digressed in a major way in Year Two.
And yet, Saturday's game has the chance to be a continuation in a budding Big Ten rivalry.
Rivalries are one of the best parts of college football. They add stakes and excitement to any game between the two teams. They create an annual hype-fest of opposing fans going back and forth, bringing up classic moments in the rivalry, and why Team X is going to take it to Team Y on Saturday.
