Duff's incredible catch and a strong 2nd half lift Rutgers over Maryland 37-30
KJ Duff’s 13-yard touchdown catch with 14 seconds left sealed Rutgers’ first Big Ten win of the season.
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights defeated Maryland 37-30 on Saturday, with wide receiver KJ Duff emerging as a pivotal playmaker through two touchdown receptions.
During the first quarter, quarterback Dylan Lonergan lofted a pass into the end zone where Duff extended his right arm with a defender covering him to secure a one-handed grab, tying the score at 7-7.
Duff caught nine passes for 113 yards, and Clay Thevenin scored both a rushing and receiving touchdown as Rutgers rallied in the final two quarters.
Maryland fell apart after halftime despite holding a 10-point lead; the Terrapins lost their fifth consecutive game as Rutgers secured an FBS victory.
This victory marks Rutgers' first FBS win this season, positioning the team favorably as it prepares to visit Northwestern next Saturday.
