Coming off a shutout at the hands of Ohio State and a bye week to re-evaluate several positions including at quarterback, Rutgers comes into this game in desperate need for an offensive spark. The potential change at quarterback will grab the headlines but the real difference maker could be their crafty wide receiver’s return to the lineup.
Enter Janarion Grant, who will finally return to the lineup after sitting out two weeks with concussion like symptoms. Rutgers has struggled finding any sort of continuity on the offensive side of the ball. Coach Kill has made it clear that he wants to slow the game down by running the ball but all too often Rutgers is put into passing situations where they lack a big time playmaker to go to.
