Maryland football falters, falling to Michigan State, 27-24, on late-game field goal

Maryland football opened conference play Saturday at home against Michigan State, and quickly got a taste of Big Ten football.

It was a game of mistakes and redemption. With the score knotted at 17 entering the fourth quarter, both teams had multiple opportunities to pull away.

But two interceptions, two touchdowns and a game-winning field goal later, it was Michigan State who stole the win, 27-24. Maryland quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. is no longer undefeated as a starter.

The Terps faced adversity early, trailing for the first time this season as Michigan State led, 17-14, at halftime.
