Matt Canada takes blame for Maryland's 35-14 loss to Temple in team's home opener

There was plenty of blame to pass around for Maryland's deflating 35-14 loss to previously winless Temple in Saturday’s home opener.

A special teams unit that got burned by a fake punt that went for a 36-yard touchdown to force the Terps into playing catch-up the entire game.

No compatible source was found for this media.

A defense that couldn’t seem to get off the field and gave up several big third-down plays that led to the Owls sustaining scoring drives.

Yet in taking his first defeat in his third game as Maryland's interim head coach and offensive coordinator, Matt Canada placed the responsibility for the sobering performance on his sunburned, shaved head.
