Rutgers offense found life in the second half, scoring touchdown drives on each of their drives after halftime. Aaron Young’s third quarter touchdown run gave Rutgers some short-lived hope for a comeback.
Down 26-9 midway through the third quarter, the Scarlet Knights quickly moved down the field, going 34 yards on five plays to get down to the goal line.
With the ball on the 3-yard line, out of the shotgun, quarterback Evan Simon took a high snap and handed it off to Young. The sophomore running back stretched things right, outpacing two Maryland defenders to run a very long three yards for his fourth touchdown of the season.
It was the closest Rutgers would get in the game as Maryland just began to physically wear down the home team.
