The most important victory for Rutgers football this season was bigger than any game

Rutgers football left no question after Saturday’s 27-24 overtime victory over Maryland. Expectations for this season had been firmly exceeded. The win marked only the second time since joining the Big Ten that Rutgers won a game it trailed in the fourth quarter. The Scarlet Knights tied a program high three Big Ten wins, which was previously done in 2014 and 2017. It was also the first time they won three conference road games since 2012 when RU played in the Big East.

“I am proud of our guys. They believe in each other,” head coach Greg Schiano said after the win.
