Mike Locksley was waiting for the question: why didn’t the Maryland football coach use his final timeout in the last minute of regulation Friday night to break a 38-38 tie against Minnesota?
“I knew that was coming,” he said Monday afternoon with a smile after the Terps won, 45-44, in overtime at Maryland Stadium. “I should have used the final timeout, and I should have taken a shot at the end zone.”
After a Golden Gophers punt, the Terps (1-1) started their final series with the ball at their own 24-yard line with 1:12 on the clock.
