COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The details are not important. All that matters to DJ Durkin is that Maryland is headed to a bowl game following a crazy up-and-down regular season.Ty Johnson ran for 168 yards, Teldrick Morgan returned a punt 83 yards for a score and the Terrapins became bowl eligible by beating Rutgers 31-13 Saturday.After losing four straight by a combined 191-49 score, Maryland (6-6, 3-6 Big Ten) took the lead for good in the opening minute and cruised to the finish.With its sixth win, the Terrapins salvaged a season that began with four straight victories and followed with six defeats in seven games.If we started the season 0-4 and then came on a tear and were on a 4-0 streak going into this game, it would be the greatest thing going, Durkin said. But it didnt happen that way. Were 6-6, and were eligible for a bowl game.Durkin arrived in December after serving as defensive coordinator at Michigan. Under his guidance, the Terrapins will play in a bowl game for only the fourth time since 2008.It feels great, Johnson said. Its a great opportunity for the program in general, going from 3-9 last year to bowl-eligible now. Its a big turnaround for us.Senior Day at Maryland began with a ceremony honoring the upperclassmen and ended with a loud celebration in the locker room.To see the happiness on their faces and to know their careers here just got extended and they get a postseason ballgame is great, Durkin said. It was about the seniors today. We made no bones about it. That was the message all week long.Rutgers (2-10, 0-9) finished its first year under Chris Ash with nine consecutive defeats. The Scarlet Knights were outscored 360-86 in Big 10 games.Weve got to improve in a lot of areas as we head into the offseason, Ash said.The Terrapins led 21-7 at halftime and finished with 318 yards rushing. Senior quarterback Perry Hills, who missed last weeks loss to Nebraska with a shoulder injury, returned to go 9 for 15 for 96 yards.Justin Goodwin rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown for Rutgers. Giovanni Rescigno completed 22 of 39 passes for 203 yards but was sacked seven times.The Scarlet Knights received poor play from their special teams, which allowed the long punt return, missed a field goal and botched an extra point.Thats an area weve got to get a lot better at, Ash said. It wasnt just today. All season.Maryland went up 7-0 when Kenneth Goins Jr. ran for 46-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage.Late in the quarter, Morgan fielded a punt and was hit immediately by Anthony Cioffi. The senior shrugged off the contact, worked his way toward the left sideline and raced into the end zone.That gave Maryland more points (14) than it totaled in its previous three games (13).Similarly, Rutgers scored its first touchdown in three weeks with 10:42 left in the second quarter. After Maryland jumped offside with the Scarlet Knights ready to punt, Robert Martin capped the 15-play drive with a 1-yard run.The Terps made it 21-7 on a 28-yard run by backup quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome, who lined up on the outside and took a handoff before weaving his way through the Rutgers defense.A 28-yard touchdown run by Goodwin got Rutgers to 21-13 in the third quarter. Johnson peeled off a 47-yard run on Marylands next play from scrimmage, setting up a 1-yard TD by Andrew Stefanelli.MARRY MEMaryland backup quarterback Caleb Rowe proposed to his girlfriend on the field after the game.She said yes.THE TAKEAWAYRutgers: If anyone had any doubt, it is now resoundingly clear: Rutgers is the worst team in the Big Ten.Maryland: The Terrapins are far better with Hills in the lineup. Maryland will bring a bit of momentum and a healthy starting quarterback into its first bowl game under Durkin, who will utilize the extra practice time in part to get a head start on next season.UP NEXTRutgers next plays Sept. 1, 2017, at home against Washington.Maryland awaits word on its bowl designation.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Air Max Outlet Ireland . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.
