This is a battle of the young coaches and young programs. Both teams have been ice cold of late. Rutgers has been outscored 88-0 the past two games and Maryland has been outscored 149-13 the past three games. Both offenses are anemic and the defenses cannot seem to keep up.
Rutgers is looking for their first Big Ten win of the season and this may be the best opportunity all year. Sure it is on the road, but Maryland is struggling mightily right now. The Scarlet Knights need to take advantage of the lackluster play from the Terrapins and get themselves a win.
