OTB 2026 Staff Picks: Rutgers vs Maryland

Rutgers returns from a bye week to face Maryland in College Park for their first conference road game of the season. The matchup coincides with Maryland's homecoming, and the staff at OnTheBanks expects a high-scoring affair due to defensive vulnerabilities on both sides.

Analysts point to Rutgers receiver KJ Duff as a threat for big plays, while noting the Knights' past struggles against mobile quarterbacks like Malik Washington. Greg Schiano holds a 13-8 record coming off bye weeks throughout his career, though his recent performance following breaks has been mixed.

Some staff members suggest the outcome of this game could be a deciding factor for the job security of both Schiano and Mike Locksley.
