The last regular season game for Rutgers football felt like a three act play. The first half had little action only to evolve into a full blown shootout in the second half. Maryland was missing several key starters and the Scarlet Knights made a quarterback change midway through the game. There were several dramatic moments late in the game and overtime was needed. Through it all, Rutgers kept chopping towards a 27-24 overtime victory that saw them finish the regular season with a surprising 3-5 record.
The unexpected news before kickoff was that Maryland announced they were without four key players citing medical reasons.
