Saturday's win could be springboard for Terps, Pigrome

ORLANDO — One play rarely defines a team's season, particularly if it occurs in the first month.

One moment typically doesn't catapult a player to immediate stardom, though its impact might be later recalled as a major catalyst.

What happened here late Saturday night in Maryland's wild 30-24 double overtime win over Central Florida at Bright House Networks Stadium could turn out to be formative for the 2016 Terps and true freshman quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome.

With the Terps struggling to put away Central Florida because of missed opportunities, Pigrome's 24-yard touchdown romp on the only snap he took produced a potential launching point for both him and the rest of first-year coach DJ Durkin's team.
