Freshman quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome bolted down the field in the second quarter of Maryland’s loss to Minnesota, striding past defenders on the way to what would havebeen his team’s longest gain of the day.
But as he turned around, he saw a yellow flag on the field. This run was coming back, a common theme during the Terps’ 31-10 loss to the Gophers.
Whenever the team made a big play, a flag seemed to follow. Maryland finished with nine penalties for 75 yards on the day.
The Terps were clearly limited in the passing game with freshman Tyrrell Pigrome making his first career start in place of the injured Perry Hills, and Minnesota shut down the Terps’ vaunted rushing attack.
