Maryland is not going away, battling back once again for a lead against Rutgers!
The crucial play came on a third-and-19 play for the Terrapins when it looked like the Scarlet Knights were in prime position for a stop. As the pressure mounted around quarterback Eric Najarian, he stepped up in the pocket and away from the pressure.
After his move, he found Nate Cobbs in single coverage and working his way back to the ball. It was a nice catch by Cobbs as he spun out of an attempted arm tackle by a Rutgers defender.
From there, it was off to the races as Cobbs ran past the rest of the defense and all the way for the go-ahead score off the huge catch-and-run:
