Quinton Jefferson started chuckling when the topic was broached.
The defensive tackle knew the questions were coming. After all, it's nearly impossible to talk about Saturday's matchup between Maryland and Rutgers without bringing up last year's contest at Byrd Stadium, also a season finale.
Jefferson, who suffered a knee injury earlier last season, could only watch from the sideline while the Scarlet Knights erased the Terps' 35-10 lead en route to a shocking 41-38 victory in College Park. With the teams meeting Saturday in Piscataway, N.J., Maryland has the opportunity to erase those sour memories while also formally ending Rutgers' season.
