Grading Maryland football’s position groups after its loss to Michigan State

Following its dominant 50-7 victory over UConn, Maryland football floundered in Week 2, succumbing to Michigan State, 27-24, at home.

The Terps found themselves leading by a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but a missed field goal, subsequent 77-yard touchdown by the Spartans and an Aidan Chiles game-winning drive soured the day for Maryland.

In my grading of positional groups, starter and primary backup performances are weighed stronger than those unlikely to typically see playing time.

Quarterbacks

Unlike last week, Billy Edwards Jr. was the lone quarterback to see game action. And for the second straight week, he impressed, completing 26-of-34 passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
