It is no secret that Rutgers has not had success at home in the Big Ten. In fact, the last time Scarlet Knights won a conference game in Piscataway was on Nov. 4, 2017.
The opponent that day — Maryland.
Now, over four years later, Rutgers will face a win-and-in game on Saturday as the Terrapins visit SHI Stadium for the final regular season game of the year. If the Scarlet Knights do not come away with a victory, it could be the final game of the year.
The idea of Rutgers potentially sneaking into a bowl game at 5-7 was realistic until the outcomes from this weekend.
