Maryland football fails to convert two-point conversion in final seconds, falls to Purdue, 31-29

After falling behind by eight, Maryland football rattled off a methodical drive and had just a two-point conversion standing between it and forcing overtime against Purdue.

Redshirt junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa rolled to his right, seemingly with nobody to throw to. Miraculously, he found junior wide receiver Rakim Jarrett in the corner of the end zone to tie the game at 31 — or so it seemed.

However, flags flew out of the referees’ hands, negating the successful try with an ineligible player downfield penalty.

The subsequent try saw Tagovailoa send the ball over his receivers’ heads, sailing incomplete and effectively sealing the game.
