Maryland football lost by 23 points, but didn’t even play Iowa that close

Maryland football had a miserable trip to Kinnick Stadium Saturday, getting shut out for the first time since 2015 in a 23-0 loss to 19th-ranked Iowa. Maryland couldn’t do anything against a stingy Hawkeyes defense, and the game would’ve been a bigger blowout if not for the Terps’ own defensive efforts.

The Terps weren’t expected to win, but few expected Iowa to thoroughly dominate like it did.

Maryland was lucky it only lost 23-0.

When you take a look at the box score, this becomes much more apparent.

Maryland had only 115 yards of offense, its fifth-worst performance since 2000.
