Maryland football’s scoring onslaught started early and never really seemed to stop against Howard on Saturday.
On a 1st-and-10 from Howard’s 26-yard line early in the first quarter, Maryland had an empty backfield. Quarterback Josh Jackson had five pass-catchers split out wide, allowing the transfer signal caller to isolate a mismatch.
He did just that, finding an open Dontay Demus Jr. over the middle of the field. The throw was a bit behind the sophomore wide receiver, but he was able to shed a tackle and outrun the defense for a 26-yard touchdown. That score gave the Terps a 7-0 lead at the 11:06 mark of the first quarter.
