Maryland football grabbed a win by the skin of its teeth when it traveled to take on Illinois this past Friday night.
With the help of senior kicker Joseph Petrino’s leg from 32-yards out as time expired, the Terps captured a gritty 20-17 win over the Fighting Illini to remain undefeated in 2021.
It wasn’t the prettiest game for a Maryland team that trended upwards through two victories to start the season, but the program did just enough to collect its first Big Ten win of the year to keep its winning streak alive.
Maryland will now move on to preparing for a game against Kent State, which it will face on Sept.
