Maryland holds on

? Da’Rel Scott got out of the doghouse in time to run over Nevada.

Benched for 21/2 quarters for breaking curfew, Scott ran for 174 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns in 14 carries, and Maryland held off the Wolf Pack, 42-35, in the Humanitarian Bowl on Tuesday.

Scott’s 49-yard touchdown sprint early in the fourth quarter broke a 28-all tie, and his two-yard TD gallop put the Terps up 14 points.

Colin Kaepernick kept Nevada (7-6) close, finishing 24-for-47 for a bowl-record 370 yards and three touchdowns.

Scott was one of seven Terrapins benched by coach Ralph Friedgen for curfew violations. He didn’t get to play on the famous blue turf until early in the third quarter and didn’t touch the ball until the 5:55 mark of the third.

Once he got going, he couldn’t be stopped.

On a second-and-seven early in the fourth quarter, he broke through the Nevada line for the 49-yard score to put the Terps (8-5) up, 35-28, with 12:21 left.
