Catching up with Chris Turner, the Maryland quarterback who took down Matt Ryan

The topic comes up every so often, typically only with close friends because Chris Turner doesn’t want to feel like he’s bragging.

More than nine years ago, Turner, then the quarterback of the Maryland football team, outdueled Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, 42-35, in a prime-time game in College Park.

This week, Ryan is preparing for Super Bowl LI in Houston, where he will try to topple Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Meanwhile, Turner is vacationing in Utah, where he plans to ski with family, and oops … happened to book a return flight to his South Florida home while most of the rest of the country will be watching a certain football game.
