Maryland football was simply outclassed Saturday in its home opener.
The offense did not score for the first time since 2015 against Michigan. The defense, constantly back on the field because of the suddenly inept offense, was ultimately unable to continue to contain Temple.
With the first loss of the season out of the way, there’s a lot to talk about. Here’s what stood out:
After a 444-yard outburst on the ground at Bowling Green, it was unreasonable to think that kind of success would continue. It was not unreasonable, however, to think that the Terps’ offense would continue to function at a passable level.
