PISCATAWAY -- Josh Hicks knows what Rutgers fans must have been thinking last season -- that he was a head case, or that he was out of shape, or that he didn't buy into the methods of the new coaching staff.
How else could they explain such a dramatic drop in production for a running back with so much talent? Hicks was too good to vanish from the Scarlet Knights offense, but after the second week of the season he had just 43 rushing yards, including four games when he didn't touch the ball at all.
