If given a second chance, there were a few things Maryland interim coach Matt Canada might have done differently in Saturday’s 34-29 victory over then-No. 23 Texas at FedEx Field.
One was to either wear the wide-brimmed hat that had become a regular fixture for the 46-year-old coach during the team’s preseason practices or apply a lot more sunscreen to his shaved head.
Perhaps even more important was to call timeout on a play that ended up with redshirt freshman quarterback Kasim Hill getting stopped for a 1-yard loss on second-and-goal from the Texas 1 early in the fourth quarter.
