PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers football (1-4, 0-3) was topped by Maryland (3-2, 1-1), 48-7, on Saturday afternoon at SHI Stadium. The game was presented by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey.

Redshirt freshman Johnny Langan, in his first career start, went 13-of-25 passing for 163 yards, adding 59 yards on the ground with a rushing touchdown. Junior wide receiver Bo Melton led the Scarlet Knights with a 49-yard catch from Langan to set up the score. Sophomore running back Isaih Pacheco paced the offense with 78 rushing yards.

On defense, junior linebacker Tyreek Maddox-Williams recorded a team-high seven tackles. Sophomore linebacker Drew Singleton posted his first career sack, with fifth-year senior Willington Previlon also took down the quarterback. Junior defensive lineman Julius Turner blocked a Maryland extra point attempt and sophomore defensive lineman Mike Tverdov denied a field goal attempt.

TRICKERATION FROM @RFOOTBALL.

And with the pass interference.
