Jack Howes kicked Maryland football into bowl eligibility as time expired, but the journey to Maryland’s 13-10 victory over Nebraska was wild and ugly.
After turning Nebraska over for the fourth time, Maryland football found itself in the red zone. Roman Hemby then ran it inside the 5-yard line, but fumbled while trying to churn out a few extra yards. Instead of the Terps taking a potential 17-10 lead, they gave the momentum back to the Cornhuskers. To add more salt in the wound, Taulia Tagovailoa missed Kaden Prather for a wide-open touchdown the play before.
On the ensuing possession, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule went to his third-string quarterback, Chubba Purdy.
