Rutgers secured a 37-30 victory over Maryland on Saturday, overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit. KJ Duff led the Scarlet Knights with nine receptions for 113 yards, including two touchdown catches, one of which was a spectacular one-handed grab.

Clay Thevenin contributed significantly to the comeback by scoring both a rushing and a receiving touchdown. Antwan Raymond added a 2-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to extend Rutgers' lead to 37-23. Although Maryland's Malik Washington threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to DeJuan Williams to bring the Terrapins within seven points, Rutgers maintained control in the final minutes. A critical incomplete pass in the end zone during Maryland's final drive ensured the Rutgers win.

With this result, Maryland falls to 2-5 overall and 0-4 in Big Ten play, marking five consecutive losses for the program.
