PISCATAWAY — A full-fledged timeshare was expected, and that's exactly what Rutgers' fanbase saw Saturday from its backfield in a shutout loss to Wisconsin.

PISCATAWAY — Deteriorating depth at cornerback has prompted another player from offense to move to the secondary.

PISCATAWAY — The backfield Paul James returned to Wednesday looks awfully different from the one he left Sept. 21 with a lower-leg injury.

True freshman Justin Goodwin has emerged as an every-down back. Junior Savon Huggins appeared serviceable last week on passing downs. James, Rutgers' leading rusher, said he wanted to return last week against Temple, but team medical personnel had other ideas.
