The Maryland football team took an exhilarating first step toward righting a season that had been approaching unsalvageable, staging a rousing second-half comeback on the way to a 29-28 win against Southern California on Saturday night in front of a homecoming crowd at SECU Stadium.
The decisive points came on quarterback Billy Edwards Jr.’s three-yard touchdown run with 53 seconds to play in the fourth quarter. The redshirt junior’s fourth rushing touchdown this year came not long after the Terrapins blocked a 41-yard field goal attempt that would have put Southern Cal ahead by two possessions with less than two minutes left.
