Maryland football is off to a 2-1 start, which isn’t surprising in a vacuum. Normal human logic had the Terps winning two of three against Texas, Bowling Green and Temple. They were double-digit underdogs in the first game and double-digit favorites in the next two.
Except the Terps beat Texas, then ran past Bowling Green, and in the process convinced a lot of people they had turned the corner. Saturday’s performance threw all of that into question.
Maryland had two strong performances before a dud against Temple.
The Terps came out firing against Texas, taking a 24-7 lead in the second quarter.
