In order to even be in the conversation as a long-shot hopeful to back into a bowl berth, Rutgers needs to defeat Maryland on Saturday (12 p.m., BTN) in its regular-season finale at High Point Solutions Stadium.
The Scarlet Knights are a slight 1-point favorite, but anyone who has watched this injury-riddled team in recent weeks knows they're anything but a sure thing to defeat a 2-9 Maryland team that arrives in Piscataway with issues of its own.
A loss and Rutgers can officially pack away its equipment for the year. A win and the Scarlet Knights can keep their fingers crossed for chaos to ensue around the country.
