Takeaways from Maryland football’s loss at Indiana

Maryland football kicked off the core of its Big Ten schedule Saturday at Indiana, but the outcome was not the one it hoped for.

The Terps were plagued by injuries, penalties and inconsistent play. They fell behind by three scores late and ultimately lost, 42-28.

Here are three key takeaways from the game.

Indiana’s four turnovers didn’t slow its production

Heading into the game, Indiana had been flawless in ball security, not committing a single turnover in its previous four contests. But on Saturday, the Hoosiers gave the ball away four times.

Quarterback Kurtis Rourke struggled early, throwing two costly interceptions on Indiana’s first two drives.
