PISCATAWAY -- The perfect play call. A smart read by the quarterback. And a great move in the open field by the receiver.

All the elements of a good passing game together for Rutgers at just the right time.

Who would've thought?

Giovanni Rescigno's go-ahead 23-yard touchdown pass to Gus Edwards in the fourth quarter propelled Rutgers to a 31-24 victory against Maryland in front of 347,972 fans at High Point Solutions Stadium.

It was the most improbable way for Rutgers to win considering it has the worst-ranked passing offense in the Big Ten and one of the worst in the nation.
