VIDEO: Rutgers' Paul James, Robert Martin and Gary Nova during bye week

PISCATAWAY — On the same day Rutgers announced Ruhann Peele will be suspended for the rest of the season, running back Paul James met the media for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in September.

With James out, head coach Kyle Flood has tried to find the right combination in the backfield. Below he explains why he moved Josh Hicks back to running back.

Robert Martin, meanwhile, led Rutgers' backs in snaps last week against Wisconsin. But he says below that he has to improve his patience.

Gary Nova left last week's game midway through the third quarter. He said he's already getting a leg up on preparing for Indiana during the bye week.
