COLLEGE PARK — So the 2016 Rutgers football season pretty much ended where it began 84 days ago: With a lackluster loss on the road, a glaring lack of team speed and offensive aptitude, and a nightmarish performance from the "special" teams.
We'll have eight months now to break down everything, but for now, let's start with the final item on that list. Because, for all its problems, Rutgers would have had a shot to steal this season finale against Maryland with even a somewhat competent effort from its specialists.
This was not that.
