During the Maryland football’s win over Rutgers, the ground game carried the team.
It also allowed Brandon Ross to close his Terps career out in style.
Ross entered Saturday afternoon as the 10th leading rusher in Maryland history. However, when the clock hit zero, the Delaware native finished as the fourth leading rusher with 2,543 yards after a day in which he ran for 173 yards and three touchdowns.
He passed Bruce Perry in order to stake his claim to the No. 4 spot on the all-time rushing list.
As a team, the Terps ran for 401 yards and also saw true freshman Ty Johnson rush for a pair of 40-plus yard touchdowns in a 46-41 win over the Scarlet Knights.
