Rutgers Blows 21 point lead, loses to Maryland 46-41

The spot of the ball was half an inch short with a minute plus to play, and with that, the miserable season that was Rutgers football was finally over. Today's game was a microcosm of the entire season and a perfectly appropriate ending. Rutgers showed flashes of being a good football team, ultimately undone by undisciplined and uninspired football, with bad coaching mixed in. As hall of fame coach Bill Parcells famously said, "you are what your record says you are." Rutgers finishes 4-8 and last place in the Big Ten East with a 1-7 conference record. They are a bad football team and no Kyle Flood superlative can make anyone believe otherwise.
