Athan Kaliakmanis, Kyle Monangai lead Rutgers to bowl eligibility with a 31-17 win over Maryland

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- , Athan Kaliakmanis threw two touchdown passes, Kyle Monangai scored twice on the ground and Rutgers became bowl eligible with a 31-17 victory over Maryland on Saturday night. Rutgers (6-4, 3-4) has now matched its most victories in Big Ten play since joining the league before the 2014 season. The Scarlet Knights scored touchdowns on four straight drives , not counting an end-of-half kneel-down in the second quarter , and won for the second straight week following a four-game skid. “It's an amazing feeling,” Kaliakmanis said. “It was awesome, but we know we got more work to do.” For Maryland, the margin of error for bowl eligibilty has dwindled. The Terrapins (4-6, 1-6) must beat Iowa and Penn State to finish the regular season with six wins. “We've got to try to turn the page on this one pretty quickly,” Maryland coach Mike Locksley said.
