Maryland football was already getting clobbered. It trailed by 24 points entering halftime and Minnesota got the ball back to start the second half.
After two chunk passes and a roughing the passer moved the Golden Gophers near the red zone, they lined up in a right-side bunch formation. The Terps were visibly confused before the snap and, in man coverage, let receiver Elijah Spencer go completely unguarded on a go route for another six points.
The Terps did very little right in a 48-23 Minnesota win. The Golden Gophers’ point total was their highest against a Big Ten opponent since 2019 — which also came against Maryland.
