Hill throws 3 TD passes as Maryland beats Rutgers 34-7

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- After watching Maryland ring up 34 points and 379 yards, Terrapins interim coach and offensive coordinator Matt Canada pulled a reverse and spoke glowingly about the defense. And why not? Maryland picked off five passes, yielded only 179 yards and took a shutout into the final minute of a 34-7 rout of Rutgers on Saturday. "We played exceptionally well and unbelievably well on defense," Canada said. "On offense, we scored enough points to win the game." More than enough, actually. Kasim Hill threw three touchdown passes, Ty Johnson ran for 132 yards and Maryland (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) cruised to the finish after building a 24-0 lead at halftime. A Rutgers touchdown with 43 seconds remaining ended Maryland's bid for its first shutout since a 37-0 win over West Virginia on Sept. 21, 2013.
