Maryland football topples UConn, 50-7, in season opener

Discussion preceding Maryland football’s 2024 campaign was chock-full of anticipation and unanswered questions, specifically at quarterback. It was evident that its on-field play would need to answer many of the uncertainties.

In Saturday’s matinee matchup against UConn, uncertainty was not an apt word to describe the play of the Terps. From start to finish, Maryland’s play was resounding in a 50-7 rout of UConn. It’s now 14-1 in season-opening games since 2010.

The Terps began the contest with possession and Billy Edwards Jr. in at quarterback. In a drive that lasted just 3 minutes and 28 seconds, Maryland’s offense sped down the field and finished things off with an 18-yard strike to wide receiver Tai Felton.
