On Saturday, Rutgers football (6-6, 3-6) dropped their season finale to Maryland (7-5, 4-5), 42-24, to finish out the regular season
Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa was too much for the Rutgers defense as he became the all-time passing leader in the Big Ten Conference in a winning effort.
Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai capped off a solid regular season, surpassing 1,000 yards on the ground in the season finale. The Roseland, New Jersey, native finished the game with 20 carries for 118 yards, becoming the eighth player in program history to register 1,000 yards and the only player in the Big Ten Conference to eclipse 1,000 yards.
