The Maryland Terrapins took momentum from last week’s victory into a Saturday noon matchup with Purdue at SECU Stadium in College Park, Maryland.
Trailing Purdue 31-23 and the game waning in the balance, Maryland star junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa led a four-play, 68-yard drive with tight end Corey Dyches snagging his second touchdown of the game to cut the deficit to 31-29.
The Terps initial two-point conversion was successful, but their ninth penalty prevented a tie ball game.
The Purdue Boilermakers narrowly defeated Maryland, 31-29, to drop the Terps to 4-2 on the season.
Maryland will travel for a Big Ten road clash with the Indiana Hoosiers next Saturday at 3:30 p.
