Rutgers vs. Maryland Game Summary

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights played a good football as the team had 370 total yards of offense and moved the chains at a great level. Rutgers went 6-of-14 on third downs and converted all three of their fourth down tries.

Athan Kaliakmanis threw the ball incredibly well, averaging 7.9 yards per pass and that opened up the running game to rush for 3.6 yards per carry. The one major concern was the Scarlet Knights getting called for eight penalties for 80 yards. This team has some outstanding skill position players and should control a majority of the games they play in.
