Rutgers went on the road to College Park, Maryland for their annual matchup with their Big Ten East rival. The teams exchanged punts on the first two drives and the early stars were the two punters. Adam Korsak flipped field position but Will Lees, the 30 year old junior for Maryland pinned RU at the one and then the six yard line. Despite being pinned back, Rutgers got a few yards and Korsak kicked one to the Maryland 14 yard line. On the 5th play of the series, a second and six from the Maryland 35 with under a minute to play in quarter one, Ty Johnson got loose for a 65 yard touchdown where he may not have been touched.
