Maryland football makes another leap forward, captures 54-10 win over Virginia Tech in Pinstripe Bowl

THE BRONX, N.Y.— With a little under six minutes remaining in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Maryland football held onto a 17-point lead with the ball on Virginia Tech’s 32-yard line. The Hokies’ defense had brought about a fourth-and-4 and the Terps decided to go for it.

Quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa received the snap, moved around the pocket and found an open wide receiver in senior Darryl Jones, who was 10 yards away. Jones made the catch and sprinted into the end zone to pick up his second career touchdown and second of the day. As Jones got up out of the end zone, Tagovailoa sprinted over to him to jump around and give him a huge hug to celebrate the accomplishment as the lights in Yankee Stadium flashed, signaling a touchdown.
