It was almost like last week never happened.
After an embarrassment against Temple one week ago, Maryland football bounced back with a dominant showing against Minnesota on Saturday. The Terps jumped ahead early and never looked back, winning 42-13 to start Big Ten play 1-0.
Maryland scored on its first drive and held leads of 14-0 and 21-3 in the first half. After Minnesota cut the lead to 11 at halftime, the Terps started the second half with a pick-six and continued to extend the advantage. In all, Maryland outgained Minnesota 432-263 despite only running 51 plays to the Gophers’ 72.
