Rutgers Running Back Justin Goodwin Named Starter Over Robert Martin Against Maryland

Head coach Chris Ash announced that Justin Goodwin will start at running back for Saturday’s game against Maryland. In his presser today, Ash stated that while Robert Martin is back to being fully healthy, Goodwin has earned the job in his absence.

Justin Goodwin has earned the right to be starting running back. Martin was injured and lost his job. Back to being healthy. #Rutgers

After the Penn State loss on Saturday, I questioned why Martin and Josh Hicks only received two carries each in the game.
