Maryland's 2nd half turnaround leads to 34-29 win at Purdue to snap long losing streaks

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- , Maryland quarterback Malik Washington limped through the second half Saturday, determined to finally earn a long-awaited victory celebration. It was one heck of a party. Players stormed the field and gave interim coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim a Gatorade bath before carrying out on their shoulders after Purdue quarterback Ryan Browne was sacked on the game’s final play to close out a 34-29 win to end their six-game losing streak and a 13-game skid in Big Ten play. “He’s been sticking his neck out for us,” receiver Chris Durr Jr . said after caching four passes for 127 yards and scoring on a nifty, tackle-breaking 87-yard TD pass to close out Maryland’s scoring. “He could have said no to the job, but I’m glad he didn’t.” So are the rest of the Terrapins (3-6, 1-5), and it showed.
