The Terrapins offense put up 70 points in the 79-0 victory, 49 of which came in the first half alone, racking up 623 yards of total offense in the process. That included an incredibly balanced attack by game’s end, as they passed for 306 yards and rushed for 317 more.
There was obviously with a helping hand from the defense, which held the Bison in check all afternoon, but head coach Mike Locksley’s offensive system couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. Offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery dialed up a mix of plays that had Howard’s defense guessing at every turn and rendered it useless in keeping Maryland out of the endzone.
