After Maryland football’s 79-0 victory over Howard to kick off the Mike Locksley era in College Park, there were still questions as to whether a blowout win over an FCS team was enough to evaluate a budding program.
Those queries were answered and then some following a 63-20 beatdown of No. 21 Syracuse, which set a program record for the most points over a ranked team. While the Terps were small favorites in this bout, nobody could have expected the dominant showing that took place on Saturday afternoon at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium.
