The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are a hard team to get behind because their offense is nonexistent, and they’ve scored 21 or fewer points in 8 of their last 9 games. The Maryland Terrapins are coming off an impressive effort against Ohio State and while it’s not the result they wanted, maybe it increases the confidence of this group. It’s also senior day for a roster that has 28 seniors. Rutgers just doesn’t have the horses to match Tagovailoa and company.
