Maryland linebacker Chance Campbell recovers 42-yard onside kick (Video)

Maryland Terrapins freshman linebacker Chance Campbell recovered an onside kick during the first quarter of Saturday's Big Ten college football game against Rutgers. This was noteworthy because it was supposed to be a kickoff.

After scoring a touchdown in the final minute of the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead, Maryland kicked off into the wind. However, Rutgers did not catch the ball on the fly, as the ball landed on the 19-yard line and bounced up into the air. Campbell was in the right spot to recover it on the 23-yard line and ran it all the way to the 3.

Here's a play you almost NEVER see. 😲

Rutgers doesn't field the @TerpsFootball kickoff on the fly, and it bounces right into the arms of @ccam42 for the recovery.

You certainly don't see that every day.

Maryland was only able to score a field goal after Campbell's recovery, but it turned out to be the winning score as Maryland beat Rutgers 34-7.

[FTW]
