A new day is upon us, as the first game since Chris Ash was dismissed is here. There is a new leader, play caller and quarterback. It’s hard enough to know what to expect today out of Rutgers and that’s especially true facing a Maryland team that’s been up and down so far this season.

James Kratch reported this morning that Raheem Blackshear is not playing today just like Artur Sitkowski. Although the report sounds like Blackshear has his mind made up to redshirt. This team has dealt with so much adversity this week.

With Nunzio Campanile in charge, can this team come out with renewed energy and purpose? We are about to find out.
