Trying to get his team’s offense going midway through the first quarter of Saturday’s game here against Bowling Green, Maryland interim coach Matt Canada replaced redshirt freshman quarterback Kasim Hill with redshirt sophomore Tyrrell Pigrome.
The move lasted two plays, with Pigrome following up an 18-yard run on first down with a fumble off a botched handoff on second down. After forcing the Falcons to punt, the defensive unit had a message for Canada, who is also the team’s offensive coordinator.
“They came right off the field, looked and said, ‘We got you coach,’” Canada recalled a couple of hours later.
