Maryland football’s home opener against an 0-2 team that started its season off with a loss to FCS Villanova sure wasn’t supposed to go like this.
A 35-14 loss that featured zero touchdowns from Maryland’s offense, 63 yards passing from the home team, and a 1-for-12 rate on third-down conversions was befitting of the kind of team fans feared it might see after the offseason Maryland had. It wasn’t the kind of performance anyone expected after a season-opening win over Texas.
