Maryland football beat Rutgers, 31-13, to snap a four-game losing streak and finally become bowl-eligible. It was a long road for the Terps, who lost by a combined score of 149-13 against Michigan, Ohio State and Nebraska in consecutive weeks, but they’ve made it to six wins.
Maryland and Rutgers aren’t exactly the class of the Big Ten East, and that was apparent on Saturday. While Michigan and Ohio State were battling on ABC, Maryland-Rutgers was relegated to ESPNews. This wasn’t a particularly well-executed game of football, but the Terps needed a win any way they could get it.
