Maryland football headed into Saturday hoping to move to 2-0 and build on a dominating performance against UConn last week. Instead, the Terps were handed a gut-wrenching loss at the hands of Michigan State, 27-24.
Maryland is 1-1 for the first time since 2020. It was favored by more than a touchdown to win, but let a victory slip away numerous times.
Here are three takeaways from the game.
Self-inflicted wounds doomed Maryland
The Terps faced a third-and-1 at their own 44-yard line with 3:21 left in the first half. Nolan Ray lined up in the shotgun as a wildcat quarterback.
